I am downloading data files using RCurl and everything works except till
some limit is hit and says too many connections open
It is a simple download using URL and I am writing the status in a tryCatch
block to a log file.
showConnections()
description class mode text isopen can read can write
> showConnections(all=T)
description class mode text isopen can read can write
0 "stdin" "terminal" "r" "text" "opened" "yes" "no"
1 "stdout" "terminal" "w" "text" "opened" "no" "yes"
2 "stderr" "terminal" "w" "text" "opened" "no" "yes"
I tried closeAllConnections() but of no use.
When I try to delete a downloaded file . It says cannot be done because
"folder is open in R GUI front end"
Any idea how to resolve this?
