I have a problem to install package 'swirl' on my Rstudio. I tried several cran in China and it cannot connect to server every time. Does anyone know any possible reason? *ps:since the stackoverflow does not allow me to post more than one URL link so I cut off a 'h' of from 'http'

 install.packages("swirl")

Warning in install.packages :
