When I update.packages(), R shows the dialog window, listing CRAN mirrors and asks to choose the CRAN mirror to use in this session. Then, R uses this address and never asks again until quit. Is there any way to make R ask for the CRAN mirror again, except restarting it? I am just trying to save typing, because sometimes my internet connection with CRAN becomes too slow, and mirrors disappear. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Where-is-CRAN-mirror-address-stored--tf3845953.html#a10891857 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
