yahoo connection failed

hi all,

I tried to use yahoo connection to downloading stock prices but failed. Here is error message:

??? Error using ==> yahoo at 56 Unable to connect to given URL.

Anyone have any idea about what is wrong with this?

Thanks a lot!

It fails for me as well but try:

conn = yahoo('http://download.finance.yahoo.com');

Could be related to a change Yahoo has made and a fix is needed by TMW.

Thanks a lot!

Just curious, how could you find the new http address? I tried several but all failed.

Thank again!
