Issues connecting to GDC API #652

Description

@atn1004

Hello.
I am trying to download the TCGA data using the GDCquery function, however, it was showing this error
"Error in value[3L] :
GDC server down, try to use this package later
In addition: Warning message:
In open.connection(con, "rb") :
URL 'https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/status': Timeout of 60 seconds was reached"

This was the function I used:
query <- GDCquery( project = "TCGA-ACC", data.category = "Copy Number Variation", data.type = "Masked Copy Number Segment", sample.type = c("Primary Tumor") )

This code worked fine for me the day before but suddenly today it was showing the error for the whole day. I have tried to reinstall TCGAbiolinks but it is still happening. I also tried to enter the link "https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/status" but the link also cannot be loaded. I don't know if it's because of the GDC server is really down or not.
I am using TCGAbiolinks version 2.37.1.

Please help me with this issue. Thank you so much.
