: : Mark,
: : I rebooted with firewall off, as suggested. It hasn't helped much. It can't be the firewall since data is being retrieved. Its just real slow and it is timing out every so often. Normally, the counter on the message box that displays progress shows say 80/second or so. Now it is more like between 2/second to say 10/second. All other internet activity is fine...

: : Thanks,

: : Anil.

: I forgot to mention- I also get a Error 12029- "Could not connect to server".

: Thanks.

Hi Anil,

I'm not sure then... What server are you using exactly, Yahoo or Yahoo (Historical)? I just tested both of these from here, and they were both normal speed, at least for my test case.

Are all of the quote servers slow, or just Yahoo? Are you sure you're not overriding the quote server under "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve" for some of your investments?

The 12029 error is usually seen when there are firewall issues, but since you are connecting, it doesn't seem like a firewall problem.

You can also try turning off this option:

Options / Internet Settings... / Proxy / Use Windows Settings

to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Mark
