Dan:Do you live in the US, and are you talking about US stocks?I found that data from Yahoo was usually not available until about 11:30 PM eastern time on the trading day.

In fact, this is earlier than my "for pay" data supplier.Harry--- In equismetastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "dan damyanoff" wrote:> I have tried every downloader and there is a big problem with all of> them.
