On Windows, I presume?
Did you read the Windows FAQ, Q.2.17?
In all cases, you could try to download the ZIP file using your
browser and then "install from local ZIP file". If you cannot download
that way either, well, the problem is not in R, then.
Notice that you need the Windows binary (*.zip) not the *.tar.gz or
*.tgz files, which contain source distributions and Macintosh files
respectively (unless I guessed your system incorrectly, of course...)
