"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

I started at 9:53 PM, and it didn't finish until 11:47 PM. Nothing was wrong w/my internet connection; it was fast. Any idea why downloading historical data is so slow?

I need some more information before being able to look into this further.... Do you run this same batch of processing every night? Was last night the first night you saw this happen? How long does it normally take you to retrieve this data? Do you know which server farm you were connected to?

It is always pretty slow, however last night was the slowest I've ever seen it. In the past (on 05/03/07), 1 day has taken from 8:34 to 9:15 PM just as an example. I do not run the same batch every night, I pull up a list of stocks based on criteria & run it when I have time that day (always after 7PM): 7/10/2007 9:47:33 PM S,SERVER CONNECTED 7/10/2007 9:47:33 PM S,CUST,real_time,66.112.156.227 7/10/2007 9:47:33 PM S,KEYOK 7/10/2007 10:11:17 PM Invalid symbol. 7/10/2007 10:11:48 PM download failed for BRCDD 7/10/2007 10:22:40 PM Unable to connect to tick history socket 7/10/2007 10:22:50 PM download failed for CRUS 7/10/2007 10:23:11 PM Unable to connect to tick history socket 7/10/2007 10:23:21 PM download failed for CSCO 7/10/2007 10:43:53 PM 7/10/2007 10:44:24 PM download failed for IDCC
