I've been working through https://www.tidytextmining.com/tidytext.html wherein everything worked until I got to this part in section 1.5
> hgwells <- gutenberg_download(c(35, 36, 5230, 159)) Determining mirror for Project Gutenberg from http://www.gutenberg.org/robot/harvest Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : Failed to connect to www.gutenberg.org port 80: Connection timed out Which indicates the problem is at the very start: if (is.null(mirror)) { mirror <- gutenberg_get_mirror(verbose = verbose) } The documentation for gutenberg_get_mirror indicates there's nothing different I could set. So I tried specifying my usual mirror: > hgwells <- gutenberg_download(c(1260, 768, 969, 9182, 767), mirror = > "http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz") Error in read_zip_url(full_url) : could not find function "read_zip_url" > Which is, indeed, strange since according to > help.search("read_zip_url") Help files with alias or concept or title matching ‘read_zip_url’ using regular expression matching: gutenbergr::read_zip_url Read a file from a .zip URL Aliases: read_zip_url [...] And according to library(help = "gutenbergr") [...] Index: gutenberg_authors Metadata about Project Gutenberg authors gutenberg_download Download one or more works using a Project Gutenberg ID gutenberg_get_mirror Get the recommended mirror for Gutenberg files gutenberg_metadata Gutenberg metadata about each work gutenberg_strip Strip header and footer content from a Project Gutenberg book gutenberg_subjects Gutenberg metadata about the subject of each work gutenberg_works Get a filtered table of Gutenberg work metadata read_zip_url Read a file from a .zip URL [...] However, when I look at the list for that part of the search(), there is no read_zip_url but all the rest of that list are present. So it's not surprising that it isn't found. But it puzzles me that it is not there. Ideas as to where I should proceed gratefully appreciated. > sessionInfo() R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Matrix products: default BLAS: /home/hrapgc/local/R-3.4.2/lib/libRblas.so LAPACK: /home/hrapgc/local/R-3.4.2/lib/libRlapack.so locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_NZ.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_NZ.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] grDevices utils stats graphics methods base other attached packages: [1] sos_2.0-0 brew_1.0-6 gutenbergr_0.1.3 ggplot2_2.2.1 [5] stringr_1.2.0 bindrcpp_0.2 dplyr_0.7.4 janeaustenr_0.1.5 [9] tidytext_0.1.6 FactoMineR_1.38 readxl_1.0.0 tm_0.7-3 [13] NLP_0.1-11 wordcloud_2.5 RColorBrewer_1.1-2 lattice_0.20-35 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] Rcpp_0.12.13 cellranger_1.1.0 compiler_3.4.2 [4] plyr_1.8.4 bindr_0.1 tokenizers_0.1.4 [7] tools_3.4.2 gtable_0.2.0 tibble_1.3.4 [10] nlme_3.1-131 pkgconfig_2.0.1 rlang_0.1.2 [13] Matrix_1.2-11 psych_1.7.8 curl_3.0 [16] parallel_3.4.2 xml2_1.1.1 cluster_2.0.6 [19] hms_0.3 flashClust_1.01-2 grid_3.4.2 [22] scatterplot3d_0.3-40 glue_1.1.1 ellipse_0.3-8 [25] R6_2.2.2 foreign_0.8-69 readr_1.1.1 [28] purrr_0.2.4 tidyr_0.7.2 reshape2_1.4.2 [31] magrittr_1.5 scales_0.5.0 SnowballC_0.5.1 [34] MASS_7.3-47 leaps_3.0 assertthat_0.2.0 [37] mnormt_1.5-5 colorspace_1.3-2 labeling_0.3 [40] stringi_1.1.5 lazyeval_0.2.1 munsell_0.4.3 [43] slam_0.1-42 broom_0.4.2 > -- ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ___ Patrick Connolly {~._.~} Great minds discuss ideas _( Y )_ Average minds discuss events (:_~*~_:) Small minds discuss people (_)-(_) .....
