[R-sig-Debian] invalid multibyte string at '<a0>'

[Mike Cheetham]

I had similar encoding problems a little while ago with text exported 
from Windows software (written in Germany - I'm in the US).  If you're 
still looking for an R solution you might try:

read.csv("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6113358/prob.csv", 
fileEncoding="ISO_8859-2")

which works on my system (or at least reads the file and the top looks 
reasonable, missing values in the last column?)
