[BioC] Is there a place to download GenomicFeatures'

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Wenzhang,

I think Steve is probably right in that it sounds like you have a
connection issue.  In addition, once you get it downloaded, you will
probably want to use saveFeatures() and loadFeatures() to preserve a
local copy of your annotations.  So you might want to look at that as well.
