I may be biased, but I would recommend using FastRWeb, it's much more efficient and has a lot of advantages (allows pre-loading of data and code, supports parallel connections etc.). See http://rforge.net/FastRWeb and https://www.urbanek.info/research/pub/urbanek-iasc08.pdf We use it heavily internally for a lot of things we do, so it's definitely a very active project (in fact I know about several people using it externally as well). In case you get convinced that this is a good option, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and need any help.
