[R] bayesm package not downloading via any mirror or repository

[ekwaters]

OK still no luck, when, as you say it is clear that the package IS available.
It really doesn't seem to matter what mirror I use and they can't all be
down. I can install other packages such as LearnBayes, VCD etc with no
issues, so can't be blocked at my end.
 My latest output:

> install.packages("bayesm", dependencies=TRUE,
> repos='http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html')
Warning in install.packages("bayesm", dependencies = TRUE, repos =
"http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html") :

Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html/src/contrib
dependency '‘bayesm’' is not available
  
# when I nominate a mirror via the interface (and believe me I've tried many
different ones!)
