[BioC] Download problems from GEO

[Hendrik [guest]]

Anyone else experiencing problems downloading data through the function getGEO? Is it a problem of GEO or the package?

> gse <- getGEO("GSE508")
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : 
  Server denied you to change to the given directory
> traceback()
7: fun(structure(list(message = msg, call = sys.call()), class = c(typeName, 
       "GenericCurlError", "error", "condition")))
6: function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) 
   {
       if (!is.character(type)) {
           i = match(type, CURLcodeValues)
           typeName = if (is.na(i)) 
               character()
           else names(CURLcodeValues)[i]
       }
       typeName = gsub("^CURLE_", "", typeName)
       fun = (if (asError) 
           stop
       else warning)
       fun(structure(list(message = msg, call = sys.call()), class = c(typeName, 
           "GenericCurlError", "error", "condition")))
   }(9L, "Server denied you to change to the given directory", TRUE)

       PACKAGE = "RCurl")
