Hello,

I am using R2.8.0. I tried to use to.mart in bioMart, but I got the
following error message. I know I am connecting to internet.

> library("biomaRt")
> to.mart <- useMart("ensembl","hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 3 and body
Premature end of data in tag html line 1
Error: 1: Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 3 and body
2: Premature end of data in tag html line 1
> interactive()
[1] TRUE

When I debug to.mart, I got

Browse[1]>
debug: host = "http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice"
Browse[1]>
debug: marts = listMarts(host = host, includeHosts = TRUE, archive =
archive)
Browse[1]>
Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 3 and body
Premature end of data in tag html line 1
Error: 1: Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 3 and body
2: Premature end of data in tag html line 1

Then I went to http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice. But was pointed
to "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/errors/failure.html".

I also went to http://www.biomart.org. I clicked "BioMart Central Portal",
and was pointed to "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/errors/failure.html" again.
I guess this is the problem. Anybody had the same problem?

Thanks,
Di
