Looks like an HTML issue. Almost all links on that page go to files in
the server root, and likewise for r-devel. The .exe files themselves
seem to be quite happily sitting alongside the release binary at e.g.

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.2.0pat-win32.exe


The source for the link table in r-patched.html is currently looking like this:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" BORDER="0">
