Suddenly I have started getting following error/warning while installing any package in R.

Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1L], dependencies = NA, type = type) :
no packages were specified
I have tried both methods. I have tried downloading binary zip file from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rjson/index.html for "rjson" package ---> selecting CRAN mirror from menu and then Install package(s)...after this i get aforementioned error.
I have also tried install.packages("anypackage") Now I get the following error
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/ayush/Documents/R/win-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning message:
package ‘rjson’ is not available (for R version 3.0.1)
I have also tried changing CRAN mirrors. But no luck.
I have also refered to this question earlier asked, Installation Error When Installing Package from R Forge and I have tried the possible solutions mentioned. But not working.
This has started happening suddenly. Earlier I used to download them normally.
I am using latest R 3.0.1. I have also tried switching to earlier versions of R. No luck.
I use windows 7 64 bit. This is happening while installing any package. Please help.
