GDCdownload error: 'No such file or directory'

The same error occurred in the remaining 400+ files. I checked to make sure the directory exists and ran RStudio as administrator.
Then I used the client method to download, and the error message was as follows.

Hi Mincana-Huang, I am currently having the same issue when I try to use method = "client", were you ever able to find a solution to this? Thanks!
