Hi, I am trying to use install GEOquery package in R and type: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("GEOquery") The sliding bar stops at some point, then I stopped the task and repeat it, then it stops in another place ..., but still not 100%. I keep doing this for many times and it is still not successful yet. For some other packages, I've encountered similar problem before, but at most 3 times I repeated, the download should be 100% finished. Does anyone have similar problem? Thanks, -Jack [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm guessing you're on Windows (but you should post the output of sessionInfo() so that we can know this, plus other information helpful to diagnose the problem). I was just able to install GEOquery using biocLite() on windows and it didn't take long. Of course, I am here at FHCRC; you may be encountering network latency issues. Several files may be downloaded when you install GEOquery. If you could let us know which ones seem to be getting stuck, that would also help.

Are you saying that you can now install GEOquery using the default mirror at bioconductor.org, or that it works after you changed mirrors?
