(a) outside R, I visit the CRAN site or mirror (the brazilian mirror is faster for me; YKMV) (b) I download the .zip package from the mirror and save it to some known directory (c) using RGui, I use the option to install the package from a local zip The worse that can (and does) happen is that normally the package I want requires other packages, this is easily solved with new downloads-and-installs.
