In another thread you wrote:

One note:  The  "cloud" CRAN server is nowadays reachable as

    https://cloud.r-project.org

and that is now the preferred URL.

Should I understand from this that it is considered advisable that I use this URL as my default repository for downloading R and contributed packages from CRAN? Rather than making use of my "local mirror" (in my case http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz)?

I have set

   options(repos="https://cloud.r-project.org";)

in my .Rprofile, and everything seems to work, and go like a train. Are there any disadvantages to so doing?

cheers,

Rolf
