Hi Sarvi,
The problem is not with Ami but yahoo. Yahoo only allows downloading
the file in 6 month blocks. So you will have to repeat the process a few
times to setup all your data.
BTW I am not sure why this should affect your buying decision as anyways
whatever charting software you use, you will need the data. And if you have
a data source that works with one then it will work with all :).
Thanks
Pankaj
