[Env: Win XP]
I've just upgraded from R 2.12.2 to R 2.13.1.  As part of my upgrade 
process, I typically install some in-development
packages from R-Forge that are not on cran.  But for the first time, it 
doesn't work.

e.g.,
 > install.packages("p3d", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
trying URL 
'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/p3d_0.02-2.zip'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
   cannot open URL 
'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/p3d_0.02-2.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
   cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available,  :
   download of package 'p3d' failed

The list of packages I install this way is:

special <- c("p3d", "patchDVI", "spacemakeR", "spida")
install.packages(special,repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")


Is this just an R-Forge problem?  The source packages are there, but not 
the windows binaries.  The log files
are uninformative:


    p3d log file (build_win64)

Sun Jul 31 00:28:31 2011: Building binary for package p3d (SVN revision 19)
using R version 2.13.1 Patched (2011-07-22 r56481) ...

Package up to date. Not building ...
