[R] Fwd: CRAN problem with plyr-1.4.1

[Douglas Bates]

The first thing to do is try another mirror.  The "official" (or as
official as we ever get about anything) U.S. mirror is

http://cran.us.R-project.org

They tend to be very good about updating.  Presently the source
package for plyr is at version 1.5 and the binary versions are both at
1.4.1
