I've just tried out ML Downloader on Yahoo EOD data, and it seems to 
work really well.  I just tried it with a simple download to an ascii 
file, but it also seems to have some additional functions like 
directly updating MetaStock data files and filling in gaps in the 
data (like if you don't download for several days).

A question for other users here - I'm actually trying to use 
MLDownloader to access Quote.com (QCharts/Lycos Finance) historical 
intra-day data, and while it accesses Yahoo just fine, it cannot seem 
to contact my Quote.com account.  That's not very well documented in 
the MLDownloader, has anyone else figured that out?

Thanks.

Gary
