<div>Ezra,</div>
<div>I just restarted R-Studio an reran the commands:</div>

<div>There was a delay that feels like a time-out. Could be the MIT directory is not accessible from our location. Or our State IT may have started blocking it for some unimaginable reason.</div>
<div>Please let me know if there is more I can try.</div>

<div>Strange -- this seems to be working for me now. Can you try it one more time, just to be sure?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's possible that your connection is timing out due to the size of the file being downloaded. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>(Also, can you confirm that you are using the most recent version of acs, 2.0?)</div>
