2) Speed - all these tools get data from yahoo or somewhere else via http
requests. 7000 http requests, no matter how you cut it takes a lot of time.
If you get just a file per exchange, you can get your download done in <1
minute vs. something potentially a lot more. Now only hope eoddata.com
doesn't go away 8 )
Because HTTP is a stateless protocol, you can massively parallize the
fetches and gain an order of magnitude in speed.
