From: Mulholland, Tom
Subject: priceIts
Well I downloaded the data using the link in your message which suggests that the code is right. I don't have its loaded (I assume it's from the irregular time series package) so I can't test the code as you have it.
Have you tried checking to see it it is an issue with the internet (your browser, blocked sites etc) rather than a problem in R?
