I am now downloading r-devel to compile it on windows XP. The CRAN

You can use rsync on Windows via the Cygwin toolset (see
www.cygwin.com).
If you do that and also want to use Brian Ripley's toolkit for compiling, you might get into trouble because of incompatible versions of cygwin1.dll
I managed to get a working solution by using rsync from
http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html
and putting rsync.exe into the directory with brian's binaries (sed, grep, diff ...)
this rsync vversion can work with brian's version of cygwin1.dll.
