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?

You can always try another CRAN mirror.  But it doesn't look like a
problem with the Berkeley CRAN server:

wget http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/base/R-latest.pkg
% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time

--:--:-- 11.1M

Most likely something with your computer.
