Nearly every download I try ends up wth hundreds of 0kb files in the gz file. I know how to extract a compressed file and how to open .dat files in R… so the one time I tried and the gz file had a single .dat file, it all worked. I do not think I changed anything about the download type between when it worked (the first try) and every other try… I just added some variables.
I have attached one image of what the gz file contents look like.
Any ideas on what is going on? I hope it is as easy fix on my side!
