Try this mirror for example: http://cran.freestatistics.org//bin/windows/base/rtest.html and there are others. Ours did get the new R-2.14 beta executable during the last rsync though (which happened last night around 2 am Seattle time).> > Getting cutting-edge test releases from a mirror is a bit of a contradiction in terms anyways, because of the mirroring delays. >Well, I guess for most people lagging 24h behind is still good enough "cutting-edge-ness".

According to: http://cran.r-project.org/mirror-howto.html "The CRAN master site at WU Wien, Austria, can be found at the URLs http://cran.r-project.org ftp://cran.r-project.org/pub/R/ rsync: cran.r-project.org::CRAN" And yet cran.r-project.org is exactly where I could NOT find this installer.

Putting in the FHCRC mirror was just a mistake on my part. I understand where CRAN master is supposed to be.
