I'm not subscribed to R-devel, and usually just sit and wait for these
things to sort themselves out. Generally, even during holiday periods this
sort of thing get sorted amazingly quickly, but I was puzzled by the lack
of comment. suggesting it may be some DNS look up error at my end.

It came to light when browsing he task views and then wanting to read the
manual for a particular package, but getting a 404 when I clicked the link.
I was obviously un lucky with the mirrors I tried.

Any thanks again.

Graham
