Hi,
try this link
http://sweb.cz/YSHD-software/
the software is not perfect(made it for my own experiments), but I
think it will do. It is very fast in downloading stock history from
yahoo an putting them into a text table. I believe there are no size
limits(could be wrong- I tested 900 stocks and 3year history, quite
fast, but excel will not import table this big). Let me know if you
will need some adjustments.
