Hi all

I'm having a problem with the getGEO(...) function of the package GEOquery.
 I've looked through the previous responses to this problem but the fixes
aren't working for me.  I'm working on a mac and have R 3.0.1. and I have a
good internet connection.  When I open R, I enter

>library(GEOquery)
>options('download.file.method.GEOquery' = 'curl')
>getGEO("GDS1")

and get this

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2607:f220:41e:250::11: No route to host
File stored at:
/var/folders/00/162s57712tngn2shq_1mxg5c0000gn/T//Rtmp3xusrK/GDS10.soft.gz
Error in gzfile(fname, open = "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In download.file(myurl, destfile, mode = mode, quiet = TRUE, method =
getOption("download.file.method.GEOquery")) :
  download had nonzero exit status
2: In gzfile(fname, open = "rt") :
  cannot open compressed file
'/var/folders/00/162s57712tngn2shq_1mxg5c0000gn/T//Rtmp3xusrK/GDS10.soft.gz',
probable reason 'No such file or directory'
------------------------------
Leaving out the 'options' method gives me this:

Error in download.file(myurl, destfile, mode = mode, quiet = TRUE, method =
getOption("download.file.method.GEOquery")) :
  cannot open URL '
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/datasets/GDSnnn/GDS10/soft/GDS10.soft.gz'
--------------------------------
I have had issues downloading from GEO files from the internet before, so
this may be an issue with my security settings.  However my firewall is not
turned on and I am not sure what else could cause problems like this.

Any input would be really helpful, thanks for you time

Nick
