That's what I thought, too, and I had a quick look into that. We could make 
download.packages use wget for its task and maybe pass it some mirror flags 
via Environment variables. Urgs? Or lynx? I thought it would be more likely 
that we use available.packages or so to derive a list from our sources 
directory. But frankly, my first steps into that where too thorny that I 
thought ... damn ... we've got the bandwidth and it is only every few months 
when a new bioc release gets out.

Cheers,

Steffen
