These are recursive links for backwards compatibilty, and have been in
place for a couple of months now. Simply go to
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib
for the base sytem or contributed packages, respectively.
Older versions of R expect to find the contributed packages in
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/windows-NT/contrib
and removing the links would break install.packages() there. I'll add
some message in the directory to make things clearer.
Best,
Fritz
