[R] update.packages() ask for mirror several times
I recently installed an R-3.2.0 binary for Win7 64-bit from a CRAN table. Now when using the menu to update packages, it asks me to select a mirror several times before proceeding to successfully download and install the updated packages. It is only a minor annoyance, was wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and if so, is there a solution Here is my session info> sessionInfo()R version 3.2.0 (2015-04-16) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] 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_3.2.0>And here is the console dialogue after clicking on update packages> update.packages(ask='graphics',checkBuilt=TRUE)--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- also installing the dependency ?stringi? --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- trying URL 'http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/stringi_0.4-1.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 13432789 bytes (12.8 MB) downloaded 12.8 MB followed by the rest of the packages which need updating.
