[R-SIG-Mac] download R 3.2.1 on mac OS

[Valentina Blohm Crenovich]

thanks, it helps a lot but I get the following instead of downloading:

100  9443  100  9443    0     0  26789      0 --:--:-- --:--:--
--:--:-- 46517     0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
>

, also I tried

> fileUrl<- "https://data.baltimorecity.gov/api/views/dz54-2aru/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD"
> download.file(fileUrl, destfile="cameras.csv", method="curl")

and the output is:

100  9443  100  9443    0     0   7196      0  0:00:01  0:00:01
--:--:-- 65576      0 --:--:--  0:00:01 --:--:--     0
