That's more elegant than using Firefox with Down Them All but it seems to me which way to go depends on the situation. (The original post did not specify.) If you have R running on a machine connected to the Internet and you want to INSTALL all packages for THAT version of R then Greg's solution does the trick. My situation has been making the packages available to machines running older versions of R and NOT connected to the Internet. (One reason for that situation is some Windows 98 machines that can't run the current version of R and are not allowed on the Internet for security reasons.) -------> First-time AP Stats. teacher?
