Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed

Question

[JACKY]

Hello everyone. I am trying to read a URL link via R by typing x <- read.csv(url("URL....")). It seems there is a duplicate I just don't know how to solve this problem. I also tried doing it through these steps:

url <- "URL...."
destfile <- "the destination of the the file"
download.file(url,destfile)

This works but it downloads a file that wont open in R, gives an error of a binary file.

Thanks!

It will be difficult to help you if you don't provide the url you want to open
