 Many base and CRAN packages provide functions that download files:
 
-- [utils](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/00Index.html)'s `download.file()`.
-- `r pkg("curl")`'s `curl_download()`, and `curl_fetch_multi()`, and friends.
-- An alternative is to use `httr::GET()` (or `RCurl::getURL()`) to first read
-the file into R as a character vector before parsing with a function like `utils::read.table(text = ...)`.
+- [utils](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/00Index.html): `download.file()`.
+- `r pkg("curl")`: `curl_download()`, `curl_fetch_multi()`, and friends.
+- `r pkg("httr2")`: `req_perform(path = <your_file_path>)`, or alternatively `req_perform()` piped to `resp_body_string()`
+- `r pkg("httr")`: `GET()`
+- `r pkg("RCurl")`: `getURL()`
