[BioC] Download problem

[Fabio Passetti]

Hi Robert,

I tried to download these packages at home today morning and I also 
received corrupted files.

I am not sure about being a problem here with out local internet because 
I was able to download and install most of the packages of bioconductor.

Regards and thanks a lot for your attention!

Fabio
