Here you selected a CRAN mirror. Fine.

Actually this thing is the CRAN extras repository maintained by Broan 
Ripley which does not have any mirrors. R-2.11.x in 64-bit was the very 
first and interim 64-bit solution under Windows. With the release of 
R-2.12.0 we stopped supporting the 64-bit version of R-2.11.x since we 
can handle 64-bit much easier now. So please upgrade to R-2.12.x which 
will probably have the usual support again.

Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
