Google suggests that that error message is usually associated with cell phone browsers, so what exactly are you doing (all steps, including browser info)? I doubt that this an issue with R as such, more likely you have a general issue with large downloads.

The laptop has Windows 8, x64, enough memory space, and open access (I have administrative rights). I have installed SPSS and SQL but have never installed R. I tried multiple times to install R and reviewed the information and FAQs from the R Project website. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any answers.
