https://r-forge.r-project.org/ and packages from it are not working

I wrote a script with a package from r-forge. yesterday I tried to use it again but I had a problem with installing this package. The following message appeared:

Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository http://R-Forge.R-project.org/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Warning in install.packages :

unable to access index for repository http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5:
cannot open URL 'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/PACKAGES'

I also checked the web-page https://r-forge.r-project.org/ and it is not working at all. Does anyone found an Information explaining if there are some maintenance works or something like this? Checked also on other computers. Thx in advance
