It quite easy to check if online rates available. Just enter into any web browser address field

Code: Select all

http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=USDEUR=X&f=sl1&e=.csv
Then csv file should be downloaded like this

Code: Select all

USDEUR=X,0.9025

You don't need to use github. This resource for developers.
Seems that yahoo thanged API for download currencies rates.
This problem will be fixed only in the next release of mmex.
