thanks, I'll remember that. FWIW, I got around this problem using
wget. 

I do get an error installing the rpm tho:

[root at home tmp]# rpm -Uvh R-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:R                      error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/R/library/survival/man/survival.Rd;3dcfe8e8: cpio: read

and trying to run: 

Fatal error: Probably no X11 support: the shared library was not found
