Hi, i used the following calls to download all of Windows packages stored on the BioC CRAN mirror, but the executions tops with an error report on a package (CoCo) only available as source pkg. Did I make a mistake, or misunderstand the docu? I had thought the type argument would take care of this? Thanks for any adivse how to get this working.

Well, it is only avail as a source package. :) Did the execution halt right there, or did it get all of the packages and just say that it couldn't get CoCo at the end? Not sure exactly which you're describing here.
