[BioC] R hanging up on install of BioConductor

[Vincent Carey]

There is no evidence of a problem at the bioc server end, so you need
to consider your
network connectivity.  Try to work within R, using install.packages,
to acquire something small
like

install.packages("ash")

R "hanging" might indicate that you don't have sufficient connectivity
to complete the transaction;
it is not a bioconductor issue.  Various issues regarding the roles of
proxies are reviewed in the
documentation retrieved with ?download.file in R
