Makes perfect sense. My peace of mind came for $25 from msfeed.com.
Didn't try to download non-US data, though...
I wonder if Reuters would keep finding people who pay $35 MONTHLY for stocks data...

I use MLDownloader (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.

Sorry, I live in the US. I was told to use Prophet, but found no real difference between Yahoo and Prophet.
Trading overseas is quite another story.

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. Metaquote gives you an option of data suppliers, and one is Prophet. I can download from Prophet about 7:00-7:30 PM eastern time on the trading day. In fact, this is earlier than my "for pay" data supplier.Harry--- In equismetastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "dan damyanoff" <itrade@xxxx> wrote:> I have tried every downloader and there is a big problem with all of> them.
