RE: Downloader 6.52

Andrew,

I also take-up the Australian market.
I contacted EQUIS regarding this issue and they gave me an update.
It reduced my convert time from 30 minutes down to about 15.

Hi,

I have been off the list for a couple of weeks.  I downloaded the patch for
Metastock 6.5 which also patched the Downloader to 6.52.

I can't believe how slooooooow it is in updating my securities - I convert
from an ASCII file to Metastock format.  Previously, it would take 8-10 mins
per night for a full market (Australian) update.

I think it takes 50-60 minutes (and probably longer!) now.

Has anyone found the same?

Is there any way to speed the process?

How can I reinstall the old version?


Thanks,

Andrew
