Not sure I can deliver on a more reasonable method at this time.
Downloading everything is, as the project grows, an increasingly
special case.

Kirk, are you certain you want everything?  If it is for your personal
use, I would recommend starting with whatever pieces you want to use
and then installing more as you go.  If this is for a shared system,
well, that makes more sense to me and read on...

You might consider downloading Quantian as this has all of Bioc 1.7
all packaged together.

You could also consider mirroring all of the package repositories
using these instructions__.

OTOH, these all seem to be less convenient than Jim's suggestion.  We
will see about fixing the script so it is a bit easier.

Best,
