Does anyone have a clue why the following code stalls. 

#Just testing functionality of the package 
 
>session <- browserSession("UCSC")
>query   <- ucscTableQuery(session, "wgEncodeSydhTfbs", GRangesForUCSCGenome("hg19","chr1", IRanges(100, 101)))

>query

"""Get track 'wgEncodeSydhTfbs' within hg19:chr1:100-101"""

getTable(query) 

44 min and still running. 
This can't be right ? 


Anyone have a work around?
