[BioC] internet2.dll equivalent for Mac

[stefano iacus]

It seems a proxy problem.
Please try this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh609.html
for a system-level approach
or
http://spider.stat.umn.edu/R/library/utils/html/download.file.html
for a R-specific solution.

You can ask for help to your IT for the proxy details, or look into  
your web browser proxy settings.

Let us know.
