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
