HTTP 403 forbidden error when calling gdcdata to download open access files from new GDC Data Release v32 #98

With the same code I've been using to successfully query and download open access data files from GDC for a long while, now suddenly after their new data release v32 I am getting HTTP 403 forbidden errors when calling gdcdata function to download:

Error in (function (uri, destination, overwrite, progress, token = NULL,  : 
  Forbidden (HTTP 403).

These are open access files and not dbGaP controlled access ones, so 403 error shouldn’t be happening.

GDC fixed the issue. I guess I was really early to start downloading, they had released v32 and you could query for open released files but then couldn't download them. Thanks @LiNk-NY
