When I try to go to http://cran.us.r-project.org I get sent to a location called "domains 4 sale" or something of that ilk, indicating that some "URL scavenger" has flagged it as expired. Has something happened, or is it just wishful thinking on some scavenger's part that the URL is no longer pointing to the US CRAN mirror?

Well, Doug recently paid the dues for r-project.org and cran.us.r-project.org is working OK from here. Some joker may have hijacked some name servers though.

Yeah ... it is doing that where I work but not from my ISP. Life in the digital age, I guess ... I was going to volunteer to pay a year or two if it really *had* expired, since I don't have time to contribute any *code*. I just bought two more domains myself; they're *really* cheap these days if all you want is to have them point somewhere. -- znmeb@aracnet.com (M. Edward Borasky) http://www.aracnet.com/~znmeb Relax!
