Dear list, I am using OS X Lion, I experience very slow package installation. For instance, it would take me 5 minutes to get connect and finish install ggplot2(). And then, I another 3 min to install its depedencies. I don't remember taking this long nor doing this much work on Windows. I was wondering if anyone else experience this problem.
Not really, it's typically a matter of seconds. Try using a different mirror. Cheers, Simon
Thanks in advance.
