what is it you're doing with the data after you've got it from MT ?
i convert MT data into MetaStock also Advanced GET
with MS i use the MS DownLoader to do the conversion
with AG i use an MT indicator that converts the data into a format that AG
can read which it collects from an MT file
in both cases i have to first update the charts/timeframes i want
a third alternative is 'converter' utility programs that automatically collect
and realtime update into other programs such as MS
