See rw-FAQ Q2.19, and of course the posting guide. Claiming 'it always fail' does not help us help you, but blaming your tools in this way could be considered discourteous (or worse).

This is what I just tried (thanks, Dirk!):
Start R and then Sys.putenv("http_proxy", "whatever"),
options(download.file.method="wget") doesn't work.
Open up a command prompt, define http_proxy there, then run Rgui. Set
options(download.file.method="wget"). This works.
Perhaps you can define http_proxy in Renviron. I have not tried that.
