Hi Hari,

If you go to the web page of BioMart for that specific archive you'll see
that is temporarily unavailable.

http://may2009.archive.ensembl.org/biomart/martview

I would check again in a bit and if this site comes back, you should be
able to do your queries with biomaRt again.

If it is out too long, contact the ensembl helpdesk at
helpdesk@ensembl.organd report this issue so it can be fixed.

Cheers,
Steffen
