Hi
How can I accelerate the downloading time of historical data?
It's almost ten times slower than other softwares I've used.
The problem is not my provider (IB or TS) nor my connection.

Whenever I connect MC to IB or to TS data provider it takes a long, really long time to download the data.
Using the same computer with TS, Visual Chart or some other platforms it's much faster.
Another issue is that I have to reload the data from the Internet everytime I restart MC. It doesn't reuse it locally.
If I try to save it as an ASCII file it's a little bit faster but it doesn't work well. The strategies are not executed properly if the data source is an ASCII file.
Update: The strategy is executed properly but the statistics are completly wrong when I use comission or slippage. I don't have that problem when receiving data directly from ther Internet.
