[Rd] Mac R spinning wheel with Package Manager (PR#14005)

[simon.urbanek at r-project.org]

(moving to the proper mailing list: R-SIG-Mac - this is not a bug so

James,

this look like your internet access is stalling R -- it's not really R  
freezing but your internet. Try using a different mirror and/or check  
your internet connection.

Cheers,
Simon
