I'm very new to this R programming so, i was wondering if i have to do something else in this case like manually connect firehose. Because my internet is working fine.

Hey Gnana, could you find a way to solve the issue? I have the same error

The package has been removed from CRAN and BioConductor. Should you even be using it?

Yeah makes sense. I was following their github. Thanks for pointing this out.

If their github repo is alive, raise an issue there.

agree.

from a data-centric (rather than software centric) standpoint, it shouldn't be hard to get the TCGA data you are looking for from one of several sources. as an example that also has attendant R packages, consider cBioportal.

if you tell us exactly what you are trying to download, we can help with a workaround.
