Quick update - I think most of the problem is resolved.
After more checks (following Uwe comments):
1) I see that the installer file runs properly when I set "mode='wb'", and
fails when "mode='w'" (so that solves why some of the time the installer
didn't run)
2) I still get the error massage mentio
Dear Uwe,
Here is the updated code and error massage I get:
exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi'
exe_filename <- file.path(tempdir(), basename(exe_URL))
download.file(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, mode = "wb", method=
"internal")

Tal,
please quote the whole message!
I had to look for the original one now.
And then I found that code was not reproducible for me:
exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi'
exe_filename <- file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL))
Error in file.path(tempdir()
Dear Uwe,
My apologies - my original code had mode="wb", which also *does not* work
and produce the errors I've mentioned in the previous e-mail.
The code I pasted had mode ="w", since that is one of the versions I've
played with (which also does not work).
With regards,
Tal

Hi Jim,
I just wanted to know if there is a function in R that can tell you
whether a file on the internet exists before you attempt to download it
or
error when it is part of that loop.
Kind Regards

Dear all,
I am looking for a way to work out if a file on the internet exists before
attempting to download it using the function download.file(). For example,
using a url that does not exist
url <- "http://finance.yahoo.com/ftse.csv";
destfile <- tempfile()
download.file(url = url, destfile = d
