  The CRAN host in Tampa, FL (cran.hostingzero.net)
isn't responding, and hasn't responded in quite a while --
at least problems were reported more than a year ago
(Oct 2007)

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/116706.html

although someone apparently succeeded in July 2008

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/137451.html

  Perhaps it's just flaky, and not permanently missing,
but it still causes problems (especially for new users
who have no idea what's wrong, they just selected the
repository that was geographically closest to them).

  cheers
