Problem in getting geo file through GEOQUERY

I am using GEOquery package from bioconductor to download geoseries data:

library(GEOquery)
options(timeout = 600) # Set timeout to 10 minutes (600 seconds)
options(download.file.method.GEOquery = 'curl')
GSE1145 <- getGEO("GSE1145", GSEMatrix=TRUE) #get the GEO object

But after running 5 times , it throws me the same error:

Found 2 file(s)
GSE1145-GPL570_series_matrix.txt.gz
Timeout was reached: [] Operation timed out after 120005 milliseconds with 3457024 out of 10863499 bytes receivedFile stored at:
C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpaEE2lp/GSE1145-GPL570_series_matrix.txt.gz
Error in downloadFile(url, destfile = destfile, mode = "wb") : 
  Failed to download C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpaEE2lp/GSE1145-GPL570_series_matrix.txt.gz!

What is the issue? Is there any problem with Geoquery package nowadays? I am using R-4.4.0 with Rstudio 2024.04.1

It just runs fine for me with just a single line of code.

library(GEOquery)
GSE1145 <- getGEO("GSE1145", GSEMatrix=TRUE)

Code runs for me and finishes in seconds. Maybe some poor internet connection on your end. Just set the timeout to 9999999 and retry. If this all does not work maybe use GitPod (that has a good connection) or something like that to run the code, save as Rdata and then continue locally with that.

Error in downloadFile(myurl, destfile, mode = mode, quiet = TRUE) : 
  Failed to download C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp067S3j/GPL6244.soft.gz!

Can you send me ftp link so I can download that soft file manually?

Please find this link on your own by browsing the respective GEO entries. Biostars is not a service provider.
