R fails: HTTP status was '410 Gone'

I cant access any information from eursotat package.
Please see below:

toc <- get_eurostat_toc()
Error in open.connection(3L, "rb") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In open.connection(3L, "rb") :
cannot open URL 'https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing?sort=1&downfile=table_of_contents_en.txt': HTTP status was '410 Gone'

Thank you for reporting. It seems that you have an outdated version of the eurostat R package installed. Check the version of the package in your RStudio packages tab or in R console by writing packageVersion("eurostat") - it should be 4.0.0.
