Describe the bug I am aware that such an issue has already been reported, tagged as an NCBI issue, however I cannot reproduce this outside of GEOquery package.

For example, I am trying to get GSE111942 series.

The https works fine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/download/?acc=GSE111942&format=file The ftp also works ok: https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/series/GSE111nnn/GSE111942/suppl/GSE111942_RAW.tar

Have they changed something in their API perhaps?

To Reproduce

library(GEOquery)
getGeo('GSE111942')

Hmmm, invalid call, indeed I could download the file after writing this issue...
