R-2.10.x is no longer supported, but binaries that were built years ago 
for that version of R are still available on CRAN mirrors. The mirror 
selected is just not working, hence use another mirror.
The other message shows that the "CRAN extras" repository does not 
provide binaries for such outdated versions of R.

Anyway, upgrading is highly recommended.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
