Hi Carl, 1) Yes, Mac OS says R is not responding. But it's just being busy, it will respond again later.
2) No, I tend to download from the graphical user's interface that is provided under the Mac environment. Otherwise, I have also used biocLite() from the command line. In most cases you may not need to download the package manually.
