You didn't give us your sessionInfo(), so I have to fly blind here, but I assume you are using an old version of R, and hence an old version of GEOquery. URLs are notoriously unstable, so for any package that queries a webserver there are often updates that contain the new URL. > library(GEOquery) > gds <- getGEO("gds1917") trying URL 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SOFT/GDS/GDS1917.soft.gz' ftp data connection made, file length 5267985 bytes opened URL downloaded 5144Kb File stored at: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Rtmpy3lkrb/GDS1917.soft.gz parsing geodata parsing subsets ready to return > sessionInfo() R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods" "base" other attached packages: GEOquery "1.8.0" Best, Jim > > > > Thank you, > > > > Dennis > > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor > Search the archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor -- James W.
