HistoryBank downloads all of the data in a category, such as futures,
indices, NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ. Only after it is downloaded is it
"distributed" to only the symbols you have. So the number of symbols does
not make a difference in duration of the download.
An incomplete may be simply caused by trying to download data that does not
exist on HB, for example volatility for some categories of symbols.
Or, an incomplete may be actually a failure to download all the requested
data. In this second case, consider the order of the download. I have seen
that HB downloads in the order of the categories on the HB screen, and
within each category, in date order. By checking what data dates are
present in various symbols in your portfolio you can make a judgment on what
is left to download.
Good luck.
