This is not a problem in R, but with Internet access from your system. It is an FAQ, see http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e
Another possibility is to download the file http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.8/BRugs_0.4-2.zip and use the menu item to install from a local zip file. On Wed, 24 Dec 2008, norman Maiwashe wrote:
