That'll be a name server issue. Nothing to do with R per se. If it worked for some and not for others for a while, it is most likely due to cached data.

pd$ host cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu
Host cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

pd$ host cnr.Berkeley.edu
cnr.Berkeley.edu has address 169.229.201.201
