Dear bioconductor developers and mainteiners,

I have been trying to download since last week some packages either from 
the web site or inside R. First, I tried to install inside R, as follows:

 > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
 > biocLite("annaffy")
Running biocinstall version 2.1.8 with R version 2.6.0
Your version of R requires version 2.1 of Bioconductor.
Warning in install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies =
dependencies,  :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
  '/storage/carma/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.6'
also installing the dependency AnnotationDbi

trying URL
'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/src/contrib/AnnotationDbi_1.0.6.tar.gz'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
  cannot open URL
  
'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/src/contrib/AnnotationDbi_1.0.6.tar.gz'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'
Warning in download.packages(p0, destdir = tmpd, available = available,  :

trying URL
'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/src/contrib/annaffy_1.10.0.tar.gz'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
  cannot open URL
  
'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/src/contrib/annaffy_1.10.0.tar.gz'
In addition: Warning message:

  cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'

Then I have tried to download manually these packages from the 
bioconductor web site, but they came corrupted.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Fabio
