I'm having a problem with downloading data. It takes up to a day each time I start the application. I understand files are supposed to be compressed. Is it normal for one file, CHFJPY.scid to be 1.33GB in size? How do I know if the files are compressed?

Your Internet connection must be very very very slow. Never in the history of Sierra Chart has anyone ever claimed, that data downloading takes a day. This is simply not even believable. Yes 1.33 GB is normal. NTFS file compression is used and can be checked through the operating system file explorer. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

My internet connection download speed is 50 Mbps. I updated SC to v1997 from v1967 which seems to have fixed (or helped) with the download size of the files and the speed of download. I tested my SSD drive and there are no issues with it. I tried to run SC on a non-SSD drive but I couldn't get SC to work. The HD was overloaded, maybe because I have six instances open with 200+ charts. The 'Compress contents to save disk space' option is already checked on the .scid files so I guess they are compressed. Anyway, seems better now, thanks. |

There is absolutely no difference with the speed of market data downloading between Sierra Chart versions. If there is any difference, it is due to something external. Not Sierra Chart.
