This is somewhat related to the interactive stock quote importer. 

The TSX, DOW jones industrial average, FTSE 100, Heing Seng indexes are all a collection of stocks and their index reflects the movement of those stocks. 

The Dow Jones Industrial average is designated ^DJI in finance.yahoo.com but that symbol is not available in the download.finance.yahoo.com from the interactive stock quoted importer.  Is there perhaps a way I missed...

Both Interactive stock quote importer applications in the application center are for Maple 13 and Maple 15.

Can anyone help to get it to work in Maple 12?  Does the Maple 13 code still work today?

The error I recieve running it in Maple 12 is, Error in Component Button0 with caption "Get finance Data from Yahoo" (in assign) invalid arguments.

This guy Giorges is using Python and wget inorder to do parrallel downloading
and he is arguing that it is very fast.

Now my questions become

1) Does there exist a simple way that I can use wget without installing it ?
I dont want to bother users of my Maple application with installing a 3:rd party software.
A simple file in a specific location would be ok though
