[Bioc-devel] Unable to install "msdata" package in current BioC 3.13 docker

Thu Nov 5 17:04:17 CET 2020

I noticed in Johannes' message

I looked at ?download.file and saw

     The timeout for many parts of the transfer can be set by the
     option 'timeout' which defaults to 60 seconds.  This is often

which goes on to say...

     insufficient for downloads of large files (hundreds of MB or more)
     and so should be increased when 'download.file' is used in
     packages to do so.

so I'll investigate more and see if we can't get a more liberal default.
