Recent versions of R have introduced some bug related to accessing the
Internet through a transparent proxy. It has been discussed recently,
twice, for the Windows and Linux platforms. Please check these threads
[1] [2].
Basically, you would need to install wget, make sure that it can
access the Internet (tweak the config files and make it aware of the
transparent proxy) and use method="wget" when installing packages
within R.
