Tomasz, are you suggesting that its not amibroker but IQFeed that is preventing me from downloading the data. When i talked to the IQFeed rep, he was not mentioning any 40mb limit; he was saying that i should be able to download as much as he sees (which goes back to 2005).
Your back of the envelop calculations is fine but how many users really download data for 1300 symbols; personally i have been using iqfeed for exclusively *ONE* ticker (ES); i hope to extend it to a few more products in the coming year but i would be lucky if i get there. So for me, its frustrating that hardware limitations are being blamed for either AB's or IQFeed's lack.
Best Regards
-gariki

If you upgrade to their extended intraday data package, the extended data goes back 10 years but is only accessible through their program. You cannot access the extended data through Amibroker or any other outside package. This is obviously a marketing strategy to "force" people to switch to using eSignal to backtest. Big mistake.
