[BioC] AnnBuilder URL error.

[Giulio Di Giovanni]

Hi,

I have the same problem in

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2004-August/thread.html#5752

described by Margaret Gardiner.
Running the first AnnBuilder vignette (Windows OS, R 2.0.1, BioC 1.5, Active 
PERL, Environment variables and PATH modified),
I obtain:

Error in readURL(infoUrl) : Can't read from url:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/repository/UniGene/Hs.info

Could someone help me?

Here is the code:
