The portal has the current information (it's changed to prdownloads...),
as the docs point you to.

The locations in the R-devel docs are only checked just prior to release:
they change several times during an R release cycle.

Also, AFAIK no one is working on the Windows port at present, so the build
of R-devel is only tested irregularly.  I expect some work will be done on
it once 1.4.0 goes into feature freeze, but can't guarantee even that.
