Do y'all mean that RTD doesn't provide a full download of stocks in one
swoop. You are having to restrict how many you download, unbelievable! I
download all us stocks (except BBs) and mutual funds in less than 2 minutes.
Why are y'all talking about timeouts? What torture chamber does your data
come through? Do they auto correct, auto split, data. What are advantages to
RTD?
