Installing packages from binaries on Windows seems broken, when using mirrors that are up to date with CRAN install.packages( 'httr', type = 'binary', repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/" ) Changing repos to the Kansas CRAN mirror installs the package as expected, but that could be because the KS mirror has not yet synced. Someone pointed out that the PACKAGES.gz file at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/ seems to be corrupted (0 KB), and this could be the issue.

It's at 202K now in both places. Perhaps just retry? -pd

install.packages(

repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"

But I get an error when I select binary as type

install.packages(
'httr',
type = 'binary',
repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"

Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform.

Same error for another package

Hi Steve, CRAN only compiles packages for Windows and OS X, so this is a) completely expected and b) completely unrelated to the issue being discussed in this thread. Best, Ista
