It did not stop working, it just gave the warning that the "CRAN extras" 
repository (http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin) was not available 
when you tried due to power outages in Oxford where "CRAN extras" is 
kindly hosted and maintained by Brian Ripley. It conzinued working for 
all other repositories an mirrors.
