When you are looking into all of this, I would like to have an easy way to set the cdf slot so the download process do not start, eg. setting it to "unknown". This could be quite relevant for people (like me) who needs to be able to read the cel files but do not have (and possibly will not get) a cdf environment. And right now (ok as far as I recall), even the show method on an AffyBatch object starts the entire existence checking/download etc. routine.
This would have been good to raise as a feature request a few weeks ago ;-) Can you please take a look at the vignettes in affy and confirm that there is not already a documented way to do this. I was looking through the vignette yesterday and seem to recall something about turning off auto-downloading. + seth
