First, see the status links in the first para of
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html .  So it seems that the issue 
is not that the mirror is not accessible, but the part you are looking 
for is not current/available.


yes indeed. For one "R for Windows" > "contrib"  deny access, and for 
the other has no 2.14/ folder




Second, the mirror list is
http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv
and that lists the maintainers.  It is also in your R distribution, in 
directory 'doc' (but that is as old as your distribution, and mirrors 
do change).


Got it ! Thanks. Also fubbling in the chooseCRANmirror() doc I also 
discovered that  getCRANmirrors() returns a data.frame with the 
maintainer address; looking into the function it either straight  reads 
http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv, and if no connection reads 
de csv file stored in the local directory 'doc'.


Now the info about accessibility/availability has been conveyed to the 
maintainers.


Thanks again,
