title: R: Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
body: <p>I was trying to install the package RINDSEL but I am unable to install it and I keep getting the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I downloaded the package from:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://old.ibpdev.net/download/1262/rindsel_1.0_2.zip?redirect=node%2F57" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>rindsel_1.0_2.zip</strong> | Integrated Breeding Platform</a></p>
  
  <p>and loaded it from the directory. Other packages from the directory can be installed but just not this one. </p>
  
  <p>Is the package corrupt or could there be any other error?</p>
  
  <p>I would really be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance</p>
