R help - Jul 2012 - Getting R In Torrents instead of Download Zip Files

Dear List,

Sorry for intrusion. I live in area of erratic internet download speeds.
Can we get R in torrents instead of just download Zip files so we can
resume downloads when broken

Sincrely,

However, don't browsers and FTP client have stop/resume functionality built
