you may want to try to update readxl
I'm on:
readxl * 0.1.0.9000 2015-07-03 Github (hadley/readxl@7c7f66b)
For other reasons than this. It might be due to this that it's having issues.
Also try to read the offending Excel file with Excel to see if it d/l properly.
Aha! Excel won't open the downloaded file either. But when I download the file manually, readxl
works.
I'm on Windows. Maybe there's an OS issue with download.file()
?
I can see if any of the folks at the rOpenSci Unconf have issues with it. I didn't bring my external HD with my Windows VM on it with me to SF (sigh).
one option to try is httr::GET("the url", httr::write_disk("the filename"), verbose())
(syntax may be wonky…I did that in e-mail on on iPhone :-)

I encountered this as well. You just need to specify mode = "wb"
in download.file()
.
bit disconcerting. I wonder if it's due to method="curl"
by default in OS
X and not on Windows. Is options("download.file.method")
wininet
for
either/both of you?

It's NULL for me.
I'm getting wininet
Everything up to that point works fine. I only skipped loading
hrbrmisc
library.
