Subject: [Rd] suppressing 'download.file' progress window
Message-ID: <47EAA1D8.8050001@jhsph.edu>

In Windows, 'download.file' pops up a separate window indicating the progress of 
the download (even when 'quiet = TRUE').  This is useful and informative when 
downloading a single (large) file.  However, when downloading multiple (smaller) 
files in sucession, the constant flashing of the progress window can be a little 
disorienting (at least for me).

Is there a way to suppress this progress window?  Or is it an operating system 
feature?
