If it were my package, I would probably drop the tests that download from the internet, or if they were important enough, include some of the test data in the package. I find it terribly wasteful downloading the test data over and over, especially since it seems to be done twice; once for run-unit-test and again for pkg-r-autopkgtest. Are we trying to test the functionality of r-bioc-geoquery here, or the reliability of the autokgtest machine's internet connection? Regards Graham
