[R] R 3.0.3, Windows 7: Problem installing XML package

[ssifleet]

This issue seems to be ongoing.

I am not the only one at my organization experiencing it either.

Downloading the source and trying to unzip it reveals the file is broken.

We are running R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) on Windows 7 64 bit.


Issue:
install.packages("XML")
trying URL
'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.1/XML_3.98-1.1.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 4289878 bytes (4.1 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 4.1 Mb

Warning in install.packages :
  downloaded length 4253160 != reported length 4289878
Warning in install.packages :

Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open compressed file 'XML/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such
file or directory'
