I had a similar problem. My data provider, Quotes Plus, said that my data
files were corrupted and would need to be reinstalled. This happened when I
transferred data from one computer to another.
If you look at the data in the Downloader, you may be able to determine
where the file begins to get corrupted. In this case just delete that data a
few days before the "corrupted" point I used 3 days. The file should (but
not always) be correct after the next download. For a few files I had to
delete the old files and reinstall new ones from scratch .
