Seems like a lotta work. I do historical one, two, times a week sometimes. For sure over the weekend. 10,000 + tickers. Set it and forget it. Takes hour or so.

I use Yahoo! & update 3500+ stocks every day - takes just a few min.
Here's how:
1. Yahoo has 2 quote servers - Historical and Current.
2. IF your last update was yesterday AND IF the market has been closed
for a few hours - you can use the Current quote server to update
your EOD database. The Current server provides just todays OHLCV for
several hundred stocks at a time so you can update - say all of the
stocks in the Russell 1000 & 2000 in a minute or so.

Now I know that all of you will jump on this in regards to lack of
splits etc. The way I get around that is that every month or so I go
to the Historical server and download just the stocks in one of my
lists (I have 7) - so by slow rotation the entire database is kept
refreshed. Then a couple times a year I get a new list because each
of the indexes are constantly adding and dropping stocks.

And of course best of all - the data is free.
