[R] download extremely slow
I have been trying to download the latest version to my Macbook X version 10.6.8 from my institutions mirror http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu Usually is only takes minutes, but regardless of the browser or where I connect to the internet I have been unable to download because it would take upwards 2 days according to the download dialogue box. I'd really like to get the newest version to run some new packages that don't seem to work well in what I have currently (2.12.1) I had the same problem last time I tried to update ~ 3 weeks ago. Who should I contact/what should I do?

Re: [R] download extremely slow
Hmmm, I know it might seem counterintuitive, but try a different mirror -- I seem to remember some complaints about the Berkeley mirror being slow a few weeks back (though I don't have physical evidence thereof so I apologize for any accidental slander to the Berkeley mirrorers) -- perhaps UCLA? http://cran.stat.ucla.edu It just took me 2 minutes and I'm on the East Coast.

Re: [R] download extremely slow
Does CNR ring any bells as a department at Berkeley?The UCLA mirror is hosted by the statistics department (cran.stat.ucla.edu) so I am guessing your local mirror is hosted by the CNR department, and they are probably the people to inform their system is running very slowly. Maybe the server downsized due to budget cuts ;) Josh On Sat, May 5, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Hillary Sardiñas herongr...@gmail.com wrote: I have been trying to download the latest version to my Macbook X version 10.6.8 from my institutions mirror http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu Usually is only takes minutes, but regardless of the browser or where I connect to the internet I have been unable to download because it would take upwards 2 days according to the download dialogue box.
