Dear R users, I have downloaded some packages. The beginning is very slow until I am allowed to choose a CRAN server. Then it is faster. I get a warning message each time at the end of the download : "The downloaded packages are in C:\etc Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80." Is it a serious problem ?
No, as you may have noted form many messages on R-help / R-devel, the CRAN master is down today.
Your R tries to get a recent list of mirrors from CRAN master and after that runs in a timeout, you get the list shipped with R and select a mirror, hence just ignore it.
