[BioC] BiomaRt connection error

[Morten Mattingsdal]

Hi...
I just experienzed the same "problem". It seems that my connection takes 
a little minute to ... ehh.. establish itself.  I guess this is 
initialization of the Rmysql.. but just guessing.. after trying 
patiently a few more times I got connected to ensembl & vega..
And I must say: what a wonderfull package biomaRt is  !! :)
