Any news or workaround about this? I am experiencing a similar issue with Copper, I tried several times using Download script but nevertheless this is my Assets.dta:

Code:
Name      Price   Spread  RollLong/Short PIP   PIPCost Margin Lot
AUD/USD   0.90705 0.00024 0.3100 -0.6300 0.0001 0.07182 5.000 1000.0
Copper    0.00000 0.00000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.00000 0.000 0.0
EUR/CHF   1.21554 0.00025 0.0400 -0.1300 0.0001 0.08228 5.000 1000.0


And then when I want to just run this code:

Code:
function run(){
	BarPeriod = 60*24;
	StartDate = 2011;
	asset("Copper");
	set(PLOTNOW);
	vars Prices = series(price());
	plot("Price",Prices[0],MAIN,BLACK);
}



prices compiling................
BackTest: prices XAG/USD 2011..2014
Generate Chart - please wait... ok

It says:

Asset Copper not found
No Copper prices

Even though I have copper history from 2011-2014 and tried the workaround that JCL told in the previous message by modifying the download script like this:

Code:
#ifdef ADD_ASSET // add single asset
	static int i = 0;
	name = ADD_ASSET;	
	asset(name);	
	loadHistory(name,1);
	i = i + 1;	
#else
....
#endif
	if (i == 7)		
		quit("Done!")
