rsync.r-project.org (alias bates4.stat.wisc.edu) seems to be unreachable right now. is this only my problem? will it be reachable soon again?

It is decomissioned. See the current FAQ on CRAN, which says Sources are also available via `https://svn.r-project.org/R/', the R Subversion repository, but currently not via anonymous rsync (or CVS). There are good, security-related, reasons for discontinuing rsync. To get R from svn.r-project.org you need an svn client (http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html) and then look at http://developer.r-project.org/SVNtips.html, although ## to checkout svn co https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk R-devel ## to update cd R-devel svn up is about all you need to know. If you want a GUI use TortoiseSVN (but watch for drastic slowdowns to Explorer with it installed).
