R AnnotationHub download always fail

Question

[young yu]

I once loaded the AnnotationHub library and called the object by
ah <- AnnotationHub(cache = "E:/bioconductor_packages/") but it took much time, and keep in 1%. So, I had to interrupt it. Following is my code and error:

library(AnnotationHub)

ah <- AnnotationHub(cache = "E:/bioconductor_packages/")

updating AnnotationHub metadata: retrieving 1 resource

|= | 1%

Warning message: In dir.create(cache, recursive = TRUE) : 'E:\bioconductor_packages' already exists Error: 'AnnotationHub' database corrupt; remove it and try again database: ‘E:/bioconductor_packages//annotationhub.sqlite3’ reason: missing tables In addition: Warning message: download failed hub path: ‘https://annotationhub.bioconductor.org/metadata/annotationhub.sqlite3’ cache path: ‘E:/bioconductor_packages//annotationhub.sqlite3’ reason: Operation was aborted by an application callback

I tried many times but it never completed. I don't know how to solve this problem. My R version

version _
platform x86_64-w64-mingw32
arch x86_64
os mingw32
system x86_64, mingw32

language R
version.string R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14) nickname Fire Safety

I use in Rstudio in windows7, Rstudio version 0.99.903. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks.

I've also had a similar issue in the past, with the annotationhub.sqlite3 file getting corrupted. Try updating biocLite(AnnotationHub), and possibly your R installation to 3.3.1

[young yu]

thank you .but it still doesn't work. I updated R to 3.3.1, and removed biocinstaller, then update biocInstaller and AnnotationHub.

Did you try removing the AnnotationHub database (E:/bioconductor_packages//annotationhub.sqlite3) as suggested? How about the entire AH folder?

[young yu]

I did, but it didn't work.
