Hello Vinay,
As Bill rightly said, why not use Download Current Days data after Market
close since it downloads that days EOD data itself. Only if you want to
download yesterday's data, you need to use historical data download option.
Also, I think slow download of data from AmiQuote was discussed somewhere in
this group sometime earlier and proable causes and remedies was suggested by
TJ. I myself download a historical data of more scrips than that in far
lesser time.
Cheers
Prashanth
