I've recently had a very similar experience to Spencer. The MikTex project page assumes you know what you want; I don't, so it seemed best to download the whole thing. Ouch.

Would it be straightforward for Duncan Murdoch to add some brief instructions on "what bit of MikTex to get" to the excellent "Building R for Windows" page?
