Hello, Thank you very much to you all to look into this.
I came across this problem when I was using TTR::stockSymbols() ( https://github.com/joshuaulrich/TTR/blob/e6609b9f7621f3a4b1a204c159af61aebc89997e/R/WebData.R) . As a workaround I added this function to my private R package and instead of read.csv I am now using data.table::fread() which properly (without failing) downloads the file and reads it.
