I just want to load come basic UniProt data into R Studio, but it just loads forever. I ran the same command with associated packages on Google Colab and it loaded in less than a second! However, I'd like to have it work on my local hardware. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I updated R to 4.4.2 BiocManager version 3.20 UniProt version 2.46.1

library(BiocManager)
library(UniProt.ws)

up <- UniProt.ws(taxId = 9606)

It should be almost instantaneous. Do you have internet access on the local computer?

> system.time(up <- UniProt.ws())
   user  system elapsed
