The Package Installer cannot seem to find the CRAN source.  When I try to "Get
List", I get the following error:

Error in read.dcf(file = tmpf) : 
  Found continuation line starting '    <!DOCTYPE HTML P ...' at begin of
record.

I also tried to put the URL in directly with the "Other Directory URL" option
and I got

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.r-project.org/

Thank you.

Please do your homework before posing invalid bug reports --  
apparently the mirror you're using is not currently working - so just  
pick another one. Also "Other Directory URL" is NOT for repositories  
as the name implies (ever wondered why there is a "Other Repository"  
entry?).

Thanks,
S
