title: packages installation for arules in R
body: <p>I have the same problem with previous post by another user <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21453732/how-to-upload-arules-package-in-r">How to upload arules package in R</a></p>
  
  <p>i am using R version 3.0.2 (32-bit)</p>
  
  <p>The error message is like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; install.packages("arules")
  Installing package into ‘C:/Users/HKGGAIT001/Documents/R/win-library/3.0’
  (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
  trying URL 'http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/arules_1.1-1.zip'
  Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : 
    cannot open URL 'http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/arules_1.1-1.zip'
  In addition: Warning message:
  In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
    cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
  Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available,  :
    download of package ‘arules’ failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is that means the packages no longer available? Plus, is there any other packages for market basket analysis? <br/></p>
  
  <p>Many thanks!</p>
