One needs to keep in mind that the projected timelines when developing a utility are basically very rough estimates and are at best a wishful guideline!!!
Considering the fact of the extremely wide scope ambitious nature of this utility and the fact that this endeavour is solely being driven by the philanthropic persistence of a single individual as opposed to a dedicated programmer project team of a software development conglomerate with sufficient resources, IMO the somewhat caustic remarks previously are considered to be not quite in good taste. The title of the thread
Data deluxe- mother of all data downloaders
says it all. I don't think that such a project has ever been attempted earlier by even commercially inclined developers, let alone an individual!
In such cases patience is explicitly advised because the premature release of such a utility by 'jumping the gun' may have adverse implications as individual investor money will be on the line for trading by the usage of this utility!
As already expressed by other members, even if this utility would have been a paid one - they would have had no qualms in subscribing, considering it's one stop data source nature!!
And the person in question here is committed to provide it for free for boarders, borne solely out of the generosity of his intention and effort!!!
All the more reason that it would perhaps be more beneficial for the progression of effort by providing well thought out suggestions.
Even if the utility doesn't materialize considering the very ambitious scope of this endeavour, I would still like to place on record my thanks to
mrkanitkar for having the vision and determination to take a shot at this. The hard earned valuable experience of his efforts may still (in all likelihood) pave the way for someone in future (considering the abundance of talent in the forum) to bring this concept to successful culmination.
I am sure that the boarders will agree. Counting upon your understanding.
