[R-sig-ME] Unable to install glmmadmb

[Ben Bolker]

  This sounds like a connection problem.  Have you tried downloading the
file directly from
http://glmmadmb.r-forge.r-project.org/repos/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/glmmADMB_0.7.7.zip
(e.g. in a web browser), checking to see that the resulting file is the
right size (6.2 Mb), and installing it from the local zip file?
