\title{downloader: a package for making it easier to download files over https}
\description{
  This package provides a wrapper for the download.file
  function, making it possible to download files over https
  on Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like platforms. The
  RCurl package provides this functionality (and much more)
  but can be difficult to install because it must be
  compiled with external dependencies. This package has no
  external dependencies, so it is much easier to install.
