Looks like Yahoo have stopped providing web interface via chart.yahoo.com, which is used by getSymbols.yahoo. The site used to download data through the web interface is ichart.finance.yahoo.com, which seems to use the same interface.
Thanks for the report. Fixed in r610 on R-Forge.
Happy New Year, Ivan

How does one install the new version? The standard command I've used
for other packages
install.packages("quantmod", repos = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
installs 0.4.1 which is likely the stable version I suppose.
The quantmod code on R-Forge should not be considered "stable". It's where development changes are applied and tested. If you want the latest from R-Forge, you must build from source, or wait for the R-Forge build process to create the package. See here if you want to build from source. http://stackoverflow.com/q/11105131/271616
If it matters I'm using R-3.0.2 & R-Studio-0.98.490 Thanks! - Mark
