#' @title Download GDC data
#' @description
#' Uses GDC API or GDC transfer tool to download gdc data
#' The user can use query argument
#' The data from query will be save in a folder: project/data.category
#' @param query A query for GDCquery function
#' @param token.file Token file to download controlled data (only for method = "client")
#' @param method Uses the API (POST method) or gdc client tool. Options "api", "client".
#' API is faster, but the data might get corrupted in the download, and it might need to be executed again
#' @param directory Directory/Folder where the data was downloaded. Default: GDCdata
#' @param files.per.chunk This will make the API method only download n (files.per.chunk) files at a time.
#' This may reduce the download problems when the data size is too large. Expected a integer number (example files.per.chunk = 6)
#' @importFrom tools md5sum
#' @importFrom utils untar
#' @import httr
#' @importFrom methods is
