Description

@ajdamico

regarding this SO post on httr and this SO post on RCurl - it's currently impossible to load a large file if that file is bigger than available RAM.

i have 64GB of RAM, so these two lines work for me in R x64 and do not work in R 32-bit (both on windows) --

require(httr)
x <- GET( "http://www2.census.gov/acs2011_5yr/pums/csv_pus.zip" )
