I am trying to download the Windows version of R. This computer is Win7, I do have Win10 computers also. Tried R4.0.4, got message these files are corrupted. Then tried R4.0.3, got same message as above. Tried the next, R4.0.2, got same message. I checked to see if I was downloading the proper version, seems okay. What is the problem? Can anybody help me with this? Dick Mathews
Not much. Try a different mirror site. Try disabling anti-virus download filters. If you are using a cloud-backed directory like OneDrive, try downloading and installing on a standard local disk.

Can anybody help me with this?Which mirror are you using? I'd recommend using cloud.r-project.org . If you get the same problem on that mirror, then you've likely got something interfering with your download. You could try using a different machine to download, and install from a USB stick or some other non-network method. Duncan Murdoch
Does the following sound familiar? The Windows installer starts installing (or decompressing) R, flashing one file name at a time. And then, part way through, says XXXX file is corrupt, and gives you the choice to ignore. And if you click ignore, then the next file does the same thing. And one quickly realizes, that every subsequent file will have the same message. Then if you re-download the installation file, the same thing happens. Except that the first file flagged as corrupted, is not necessarily the same file.
