download.file() in R has non zero exit status


Still don't understand why removing method = "curl" don't solve the problem.

Another solution is install the downloader package which wrap download.file and make the download process easier and cross-platform (one function with same paramters for all OS)

install.packages("downloader")fileUrl <- "https://data.baltimorecity.gov/api/views/dz54-2aru            /rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD"require(downloader)download(fileUrl, "data/cameras.csv", mode = "wb")

Hope that it will work this time


The answer by @dickoa probably works, but I think the major issue is that you are using https unnecessarily. I think this works:

# Note the http instead of httpsfile<-'http://data.baltimorecity.gov/api/views/dz54-2aru/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD'read.csv(file)


Try another method: ..., method = "libcurl")
