When I attempt to install a local copy of the xml.zip file:
in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open compressed file 'XML/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file
or directory'
I think it is pretty clear that the problem is at your end: you aren't
downloading the file properly, even though everyone else is. Perhaps
you are behind a firewall, or something else is interfering with your
downloads?

someone help me either access the source for a good binary? I have received no

It installs fine for me.
