Either apply wget on yourCRANmirror/src/contrib/

or

- choose CRAN mirror
- select CRAN as the only repository (unless yoiu want other packages as 
well)
- ask R to
download.packages(available.packages(type="source")[,1], type="source", 
destdir=".....")

Maybe you want to redefine the filters. for available.packages. See its 
help page for details.
