I use
MLDownloader (<A
href="">http://www.trading-tools.com/mld.htm).
$45 if I remember rightly, downloads current day's quotes and historical data
for all stocks on Yahoo's server. Also does real-time for US &
Canadian stocks from quote.com, but I haven't tried that. I just use it to
keep EOD UK data up to date in Metastock. Works a treat
:-)

I
figured, I could probably develop my own solution to dl from Yahoo, in fact I
was half way to programming one using AutoIt and a command-line utility that
grabs web pages, but it took too long and I thought my time was worth more than
$45. As a one off payment for a lifetime's worth of EOD stock data (well
for as long as Yahoo provides it anyway), I thought it was worth
it.

Yahoo was usually not available until about 11:30 PM eastern time on the

Prophet. I can download from Prophet about 7:00-7:30 PM eastern time on the
