I never upgraded to 6.52 and couldn't get 6.5 to work.  Were you doing
stocks or futures?  At what time of day.  I pick up my numbers right after
7:30PM ET.  That is probably a busy hour of the day.

Anyway, all of my tests were with Downloader 6.5.

Apparently Prophet is having trouble with DownLoader 6.52 (they think it's a
conspiracy).  When I switched back to 6.5, my problems disappeared.
