Dick,
As I mentioned earlier in the thread MLDownloader can download long histories for international markets whereas Amiquote can only handle this for US I believe. MLD also has quite a few other features which may be of interest e.g. automtaic maintenance of constituent stocks within stock indices. You can check out full feature list via their web site. Personally I don't use Yahoo data very often (only for occasional cross checks).

Just curious ... why would you want to mess around with another
downloader. I am an ex long time Metastock user and used one of these
programs to download into Metastock. WhenI switched to AmiBroker I
found the AmiQuote just as good or better than any of them. Also
rather than us the MS Plug in I went direct to the USStocks database
with industry and sector setup(which Metastock didn't have). I have
since gone to the Hemscott updated database. I use EODData + Yahoo as
my data source (both free) and find them adequate for what I do. See
my post (message # 98252) for details on how accomplished.

MLD with AB the easiest method is to store downloaded data in MS
format and then configure AB database to read the MS files directly
via the AB MS Plugin. Ascii files can of course easily be imported
into AB if that suits you better.
