[acs-r] Problem with ACS package

[Ezra Haber Glenn]

Strange -- this seems to be working for me now.  Can you try it one

It's possible that your connection is timing out due to the size of
the file being downloaded.  

(Also, can you confirm that you are using the most recent version of
acs, 2.0?)
