Not reproducible for me (argparse package (v1.0.7) installs fine using the Berkely mirror, UCLA mirror doesn't show up as a choice of mirror when using install.packages). Maybe you had freakishly unlucky timing while version 1.0.7 (pushed to CRAN last week) percolated through the mirror ecosystem. Version 1.0.4 should be found only in the archives but if the mirror is up to date you should be able to access version 1.0.7.

Was your version of R 3.3.2?

v1.0.7 was there, NOT v1.0.4, which is the version that my install.packages() was looking for.

Yes R version 3.3.2. However for me install.packages installs v1.0.7 of argparse just fine.
