I experienced the same problem after upgrading from 2.7.2 to 2.8.0. I checked "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions" and noticed that the installer did not copy the packages that I had installed under Version 2.7. I reinstalled those packages, initially experiencing the same problem you describe, with several mirrors not working. I guess that those CRAN mirrors haven't updated to 2.8 yet. Right now, "Canada (BC)" appears to work fine.
