First, please read this old message to the R-help mailing list:
http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/03a/0690.html
This describes how to work around the firewall issue in a general case
with R.
Secondly, once that works, getBioC() now supports a 'method' argument,
which like the install/download functions in R defaults to 'auto'. You'll
want to use 'method=wget' here.
