Thank you. That is useful. But is it possible to download all the packages in one go, or would one have download each one by one?

Yes, just download the packages and install.packages with CRAN=NULL ...

Instead, you might want to mount the installed packages from a network volume instead, adding a second library path for R. So you only need to install stuff once.
