To make a local BioC mirror you will probably need to use rsync, see: http://bioconductor.org/about/mirrors/mirror-how-to/

The instructions there apply to a whole mirror including source packages and binaries for both Mac and Win. If you are interested in setting up a stripped down repository containing only Windows binaries, you only need to copy the

master.bioconductor.org::3.0/[bioc,data,extra]/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/

branches and use tools::write_PACKAGES to rebuild the package indices afterwards.

Actually, this should pull down the PACKAGES and PACKAGES.gz files so you should not need to rebuild the indices afterwards.
