Re: [R] download.file error - corrupt: Can't read SAT; charset=binary'
Tal, please quote the whole message! I had to look for the original one now. And then I found that code was not reproducible for me: exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' exe_filename - file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL)) Error in file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL)) : could not find function file.name.from.url and I do not know such a function. From its name I can guess basename(exe_URL) is the base function that does the trick. So please specify full and reproducible code that shows the error, including and does not contain any additional quirks like the mode=w Anyway, the installer works for me downloaded with the method I indicated before.

Re: [R] download.file error - corrupt: Can't read SAT; charset=binary'
Dear Uwe, Here is the updated code and error massage I get: exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' exe_filename - file.path(tempdir(), basename(exe_URL)) download.file(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, mode = wb, method= internal) # ### Error massage: trying URL 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' Content type 'Composite Document File V2 Document, corrupt: Can't read SAT; charset=binary' length 5799936 bytes (5.5 Mb) opened URL downloaded 5.5 Mb 1) I am very sorry about the chipped previous massage (it is a side effect of some form of reply in gmail, which I have not noticed before). 2) I'm sorry about using the wrong function name - it comes with the installr package, since I have it running on startup, I was blind to see the code was not standard. Also, now that I know such a function exists in base R, I will move to using it.

Re: [R] download.file error - corrupt: Can't read SAT; charset=binary'
Quick update - I think most of the problem is resolved. After more checks (following Uwe comments): 1) I see that the installer file runs properly when I set mode='wb', and fails when mode='w' (so that solves why some of the time the installer didn't run) 2) I still get the error massage mentioned before (e.g: Composite Document File V2 Document, corrupt: Can't read SAT, etc...). I don't know what it means, or if it is important (since the installer now runs properly).
