This issue seems to be ongoing.

I am not the only one at my organization experiencing it either.

Downloading the source and trying to unzip it reveals the file is broken.

We are running R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) on Windows 7 64 bit.


Issue:
install.packages("XML")
trying URL
'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.1/XML_3.98-1.1.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 4289878 bytes (4.1 Mb)
opened URL

Warning in install.packages :
