I just upgraded my version of R from 2.8.1 to 2.9.0. After doing so, I now have problems using the package installer to reinstall all my packages. Some download and install without problems, but for others, I get the spinning pinwheel and after even 10 minutes, nothing is downloaded. R stops responding. At first, I had not deleted the old version of 2.8.1 before installing 2.9.0. However, I went back and deleted the R GUI from the Applications folder and the R.framework folder from /Library/Frameworks and then reinstalled 2.9.0. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Maybe the mirror that you are using has not been completely updated?
