It has been mentioned in the past that data downloading through zorro from AV is slow because of the JSON format. According to their update website however the API now also allows to download csv files instead of JSON.

Barchart has launched an alternative:

@jcl, could you consider this for integrating into the Zorro data source options?

@mhdus
I might be wrong, but isn't 2 years of daily history a ridiculously small time frame which makes this service essentially useless?

Ok, I overlooked this... Then maybe not really an alternative but rather an interesting additonal source as it has intraday data and futures data.

"2 years of daily history"
"3 months of n-minute history"

Does not look very useful indeed.

I've been using this one for the last few months and you can get the last 10 years of history.
