Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply. You are right that I am using windows and my OS is
win7.
Do you think the version of R might be a problem? I use 2.12.2 and the first
sentence showing after I type biocLite("GEOquery") is:
Using R version 2.12.2, biocinstall version 2.7.4.

In addition, I am not clear how to figure out which file(s) get stuck, it
just shows a sliding window with something like:
xxx/bioc/bin/windows/contrib/2.12/GEO_query2.17.4.zip

I looked at the folder with downloaded packages and can not find GEOquery,
so I presume it will only show in that folder when all the downloads are
complete.

The output from sessionInfo() is:

R version 2.12.2 (2011-02-25)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)

locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252  LC_CTYPE=English_United
States.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252
LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_2.12.2

Thanks a bunch,

-Jack
