Error accessing Vegan package

[Bob Green]

Hello,

I am wanting to download the Vegan package zip file. When I tried to
do this I obtained the following message:

"Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server.
The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please
inform the author of that page about the error. If you think this is
a server error, please contact the webmaster.


The author of Vegan advised: "This looks like a problem in CRAN. The
"author of the page" is the CRAN webmaster".

I clicked on the Cran webmaster link but my e-mail program only
generated this address: [no address given]

I was wanting to run Vegan on a computer running Windows XP.

Any advice is appreciated,

Regards

Bob

  Can you give us a little bit more information about where you looked
(i.e. what URL/mirror ?)
I had no trouble retrieving a Windows binary package for vegan from

http://probability.ca/cran/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vegan_2.0-4.zip

and I also tried

http://cran.csiro.au/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vegan_2.0-4.zip

  You could take a look at http://probability.ca/cran/mirmon_report.html
to see if your mirror looks OK.

In relation to where I was trying to access the zip file it was here:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vegan_2.0-4.zip
I used this method as my work computer does not allow me to directly
install packages. Instead I have to install through the local zip file option.

I had no trouble with accessing the package via
http://probability.ca/cran/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vegan_2.0-4.zip
that Ben Bolker suggested. I was also able to access Vegan via the
Install packages in R option, albeit only when at home..

Bob

  I think you had the wrong URL ... ? I was able to find it at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vegan_2.0-4.zip
