CRAN emailed:

Dear maintainer,

Please see the problems shown on
<https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_x13binary.html>.

Please correct before 2023-09-21 to safely retain your package on CRAN.

and indeed we currently see on two machines in Vienna

I honestly do not understand my CRAN does not set options(timeout) higher by default on their machine (cc @kurthornik) but will of course do as asked and set that in script configure at

x13binary/configure

Line 77 in 1f2d32c

${R_HOME}/bin/Rscript -e "download.file(\"${url}\", \"${file}\", quiet=TRUE, method='libcurl')"

as asked.
