Dear BioC list, I have tried updating my GEOmetadb SQLite database today using the code below (which has worked for me about a month ago) and received the following error message: > library("GEOmetadb") Loading required package: GEOquery Loading required package: RCurl Loading required package: bitops Loading required package: RSQLite Loading required package: DBI > getSQLiteFile() trying URL 'http://gbnci.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/geo/GEOmetadb.sqlite.gz' Error in download.file(" http://gbnci.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/geo/GEOmetadb.sqlite.gz", : cannot open URL 'http://gbnci.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/geo/GEOmetadb.sqlite.gz' In addition: Warning message: In download.file("http://gbnci.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/geo/GEOmetadb.sqlite.gz", : cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found' In addition, the package website at http://gbnci.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/geo/ reports a funny size and date for this file -- and the link to that file also gives an HTTP 404. So I assume there's a problem on the server side or am I going wrong somewhere?
