[Bioc-devel] Problem with uncompressing files on tokay1?

[Mike Smith]

Could this be another instance where you need to specify mode = "wb" when
you call download.file()?  I've seen many examples of Windows downloads
being corrupted because it uses mode = "w" by default.

Presumably BiocFileCache would both handle this correctly and save multiple
downloads, so it's a double win.
