I seem to get the right data on Debian. Why does it install software and try to download 167 MB instead of 942 KB?
@DarioS I don't have a windows machine to test it right now. But could you provide the full query, please?
Please use
GDCquery(project = "TCGA-HNSC", data.category = "Clinical", data.type = "Clinical Supplement", data.format = "BCR Biotab")
