Running this on a Windows 7. Tried to download via CRAN and got the following error:

Maybe your filesystem is full, maybe your download got corrupted, maybe you have squirrels in your computer (ok, scratch that) -- but the file is fine:

How did you fix this?

prncevince commented 6 years ago

@Maisie27 Received same issue, fixed by downloading the source tarball gzip file from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BH/index.html into the current directory and running: install.packages('BH_1.66.0-1.tar.gz', repos = NULL)
