Problems with installing BH package

[aleksandra_ro]

Hi,

I have been trying to install shiny package. However, I kept getting an error concerning BH package. I tried installing the package seperately with no success.
I updated my R version to the newest. However, the error keeps appearing.
Here is what I get while installing BH package:

Warning in install.packages :
downloaded length 17842176 != reported length 17880019

cannot open compressed file 'BH/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
