"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post
"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email
"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin
"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum
"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim
"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras
"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

For many months, IQFeed has been flawless. Every morning before market open I backfill roughly 500 symbols for the last 10 days or so and the process typically takes about 5-8 minutes.

Over the last few days (since Monday) it has been taking upwards of 20 minutes...

Anyone else experiencing slower backfill times? I'm using the 4.7.2.0 client with Amibroker.

Once the backfills are done and the symbols are in the cache, the realtime feeds seem to be fine.

Thanks,
David

Yes I have been noticing this as well. It takes more than twice as long as it used to which seems to match up with what you are seeing.

Please contact customer support first thing tomorrow with details of which IQFeed servers you are connecting to as well as what software you are using, what type of history data is being pulled, etc. We will dig into this to see what could be causing any changes in the performance you are seeing.
