I'm using the ML Downloader to download eod quotes from msn.com. Before the christmas holiday it was possible to download intraday snapshots for european exchanges from msn.com. However, this doesn't work anymore ... or rather, some days it work, some it doesn't. Why is that?

Also, before christmas it was possible to download extensive historical quotes for european stocks. I've downloaded quotes from 1987 for the stocks I'm interested in. But now that's impossible. For most stocks I'm able to download quotes some 2 years back. The number of historical quotes isn't fixed, for some stocks it's less than 2 years, but for some it's 3 years.

(I've checked moneycentral.msn.com and the historical quotes are indeed available on the online charts, thus they haven't "disappeared".)
