[R] Downloading data from Economagic

[RON70]

Thanks Gabor for your reply. However it seems that data is not downloaded
properly. Please take a look on downloaded data :

> tail(dat2, 20)
GMT
           libor/day-ussnon
2008-11-25          0.93125
2008-11-26          0.98750
2008-11-28               NA
2008-12-01          1.08750
2008-12-02               NA
2008-12-03          0.88125
2008-12-04          0.51875
2008-12-05               NA
2008-12-08          0.18625
2008-12-09               NA
2008-12-10               NA
2008-12-11               NA
2008-12-12          0.11875
2008-12-15          0.11938
2008-12-16               NA
2008-12-17          0.13250
2008-12-18               NA
2008-12-19          0.11000
2008-12-22               NA
2008-12-23          0.11750

Data for 2008-12-22 is given as NA, whereas in the website it is 0·11375.
Does anyone have a better idea on how to download data from Economagic more
efficiently?
