Getbhavcopy: Free NSE and BSE data downloader

Getbhavcopy version 2.1.9a, which i released couple of days back, did happen to resolve the issues with NSE data download for most of the users. However users still using Windows XP were reporting the following error message while trying to download data with version 2.1.9a:

Message Error checking version support for Getbhavcopy using static file.

Message The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

I recently did a Google search for Getbhavcopy and was surprized to see the number of sites offering fake versions of Getbhavcopy, along with crack and serial.

Google search for maliscious Getbhavcopy

What raised my suspicion was that Getbhavcopy was being offered with Serial and Crack, which does not make sense because Getbhavcopy has always been free...

Getbhavcopy version 2.1.8a has been released mainly to fix the below two issues

1. BSE Indices download gives error in few cases where the local system DateTime setting is not compatible with the way in which BSE server requires it.
2. BSE Indices download stops working for some days prior to November 2015 - impacting historical data download.

The complete list of bugs and additional details about the issues are available at

Wishing the Getbhavcopy user community and their families a very happy, prosperous, safe, successful and healthy 2016.

With the number of issues faced by the community with Getbhavcopy version 2.1.6a I felt it would be best to release a new version, but in doing so, it would make sense to have some functionality released in the new version rather than simply rebuild version 2.1.6a.

So I am releasing version 2.1.7a that fixes the issue with BSE Indices data download which has been broken since a long time.

Additionally, I used this opportunity to completely automate my...

PLEASE READ THE UPDATE BELOW

Many users have reported that Getbhavcopy 2.1.6a is not working/not starting/being reported as a virus. If you are faciing this issue then I assure you that there is no virus in Getbhavcopy. Version 2.1.6a was compiled on a brand new machine where Visual Studio C# 2010 is the the fist thing I installed - to get Getbhavcopy running for the community.

So then why is it being treated as ...

Getbhavcopy version 2.1.6a has benn released. It takes care of the below issues

1. Issue with NSE Indices data download - This was caused becase NSE changed its Indices symbols, causing the data download to fail. The original issue is fixed and I have also added additional Index symbols.

2. Issue with BSE Indices data download - This issue is partially fixed. Incides data is now being downloaded from Yahoo and not from BSE Index.

In addit...

Thanks to Anil Kumar who brought to my notice that there was an issue with member registration on Getbhavcopy.com. I investigated the same and noticed that there were multiple members awaitng approval post registration, which per my assumption should not have been the case.

I have for now

1. Approved all pending registrations
2. Updated the site configuration that we should not face this issue.

Apologies to those who faced and inconvenience due to this, and than...
