Hi, Typically that error is an indication of a problem accessing and reading files on the CRAN mirror, possibly due to a proxy/firewall issue on your end and/or perhaps that your R installation does not support HTTPS (secure http). If the former, you may need to check with your SysAdmin. You might try to select a different CRAN mirror, including one that is not secure http (regular http:// URL) to see if that works. Also, note that the version of R that you are running (3.0.2) is from Sep of 2013, so quite dated. The current version is 3.3.1, which was just released this month.
