I didn't paste that URL to see if you can simply access it  ... I
actually wanted you to read it :-)

The original poster was apparently having the same problems as you,
and Martin Morgan suggested that the solution to the problem the
original poster (and now you) are apparently having might be found by
looking through the resources available at:

http://cran.r-project.org/faqs.html

Specifically the windows faq:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html

Yes, exactly.

I'm guessing section 2.19 of the windows FAQ ("The Internet download
functions fail") might be useful to you.
