That was my first guess as well, but unfortunately this doesn't solve the

I is remarkably that IE requires authentification for every new instance I
open (even if another instance is already open)...

Any other hints?

You can read about how WinINet can be made to handle authentication on this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384220%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

(If that URL doesn't work, search for WinINet on microsoft.com, and navigate to "Handling Authentication".)

To do any of this would require changes to the file https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/modules/internet/internet.c. The USE_WININET_ASYNC macro is *not* defined, so ignore code in those ifdefs. You could try changing the error handling code around line 791.

Since I don't use a proxy I can't test any of this and won't attempt it myself, but if you are able to make the changes and test them and they are reasonable looking, I'll consider incorporating them.
