CRAN.packages(CRAN = getOption("repos"), method,
              contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN))

`CRAN`	character, an earlier way to specify a repository.
`method`	Download method, see `download.file`.
`contriburl`	URL(s) of the contrib section of the repositories. Use this argument only if your CRAN mirror is incomplete, e.g., because you burned only the ‘`contrib`’ section on a CD. Overrides argument `repos`.
