The thing that's puzzling me is the ``all of its mirrors'' ... these are all completely independent sites at various universities around the globe (thanks to all the people providing webspace for the R project!!!) ... and I wouldn't even know how to get all those sites down at the same time even if I would want to ...
Somehow, the domain names *.r-project.org could not be resolved. This means, not only all the web sites were unreachable, but also the ftp-server, and my message to r-help didn't get through. By the time my message was delivered, the web sites were also available. It was only for an hour or so. Not like a few weeks back, when non of the r-project.org sites were available for days, just at the time I wanted to install R on a new machine.
