[Rd] Issue with Mac OSX version of R (PR#13275)

Tue Nov 11 23:38:11 CET 2008

Please do your homework before posing invalid bug reports --  
apparently the mirror you're using is not currently working - so just  
pick another one. Also "Other Directory URL" is NOT for repositories  
as the name implies (ever wondered why there is a "Other Repository"  
entry?).

Thanks,
S
