[BioC] GEOquery problem

[Ding, Wei]

Hi,

I am trying to use getGEO function to get GEO data. It worked like charm
before, howevre I can't get it working recently. The errors are not
consistant. Sometimes I got error like  
> gse10240 <- getGEO("GSE2034", GSEMatrix=T)
Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts, .encoding = .encoding) :

  Access denied: 421

Even after Sean mentioned it's solved

Most times I got the following error. It seems that I could download the
the data, even with some warning message. However I couldn't open the
data.
> gse10240 <- getGEO("GSE10240", GSEMatrix=T)

Any idea?
