I was able to update my database from yahoo this evening without any
problems. I don't know if they have lifted the restriction...I
started with 2 simultaneous downloads, then bumped it up to 6 after
about 100 stocks were downloaded and after a couple more hundered
were downloaded it set it to 10 simultaneous downloads..maybe
setting 10 simultaneous downloads right off the bat will work too,
but i havent tried..
