Good morning,

I tried this, changing mypath to a mapped network drive directory (Z:/). 
Generally it worked, but files were downloaded to a directory at my 
local hard disk (C:/) which is not desired (see below, sorry for the 
german, R sometimes gives german errors when using german locale 
settings at system level). How can I tell GEOquery that all files must 
be downloaded to the directory given in "mypath"?
