{quote} BIG THK YOU !!!!!! Still trying to get curl.exe to work on Win 8. AM
Hello,
fxworldwide: try this new version of curl: http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?do..._756_0_ssl.zip on this site:http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.56.0. Replace oryginal curl.exe in this indicator by downloaded file and maybe "News Downloader.exe" will be works fine.

I run this on my Windows 8.1 on my tablet and this help for me. Early I have the same problem. I had the same error and in cmd if I run curl its informed me: this version of curl is not designed to your operating system or something. Now "News Downloader.exe" run fine on my Win 8.1

Hello.......
Many thanks for this.

The version of curl that I've been supplying in my ZIP file is 7.53.1, which downloads news correctly from the FF calendar webpage on all 3 of my Windows 7 computers.

I've downloaded version 7.56.0 as you suggest, and it also appears to work correctly. Hence there seems to be no harm in using curl 7.56.0, and I will update my ZIP file in post #1 with my next release. I can't promise that it will solve fxworldwide's problem, but I think it's worth a try.

Plot News should neva die, its too good.
mladen recently wrote and shared a very good news indicator here. But Plot News is still the only indicator that also plots 'Actual' and 'Revised From' values for past news events. This is possible because it obtains its data from https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php?week=[mmmdd.yyyy], whereas the other news indicators get their data from http://cdn.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml, which includes 'Forecast' and "Previous' values for this week's events only. I'm not attempting to boast, very simply it is what it is.

[EDIT]
Just a quick note: If you prefer, Plot News can also be made to get its data from http://cdn.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml, by setting SourceDataFromXML to TRUE. This removes the need to run either NewsDownloader.exe or exidez's Python downloader, but note that you will be able to see only 'Forecast' and "Previous' values for this week's events only. Also, to get the news symbols to plot under the correct candles, you'll need to set the first parameter in TimeOffsets to 0, because the XML data uses time zone GMT, whereas the FF calendar uses New York time (either GMT-4 or GMT-5, depending on their daylight saving). See screenshot.

Hello, i try to use the archive file with an external programm for backtesting purpose (so i need a file with all news since 2007), the basic output format is not the best to read with all the extra apostrophes, so i changed to format to a very easy to read format. It works for whatever i download, but it does not create an archive file, this seems to work only with the standard format. Can you confirm if this is a bug? Or maybe i do something wrong.

You're correct, the downloader app creates an archive file only if you choose the default output format. This is intentional, and is explained on page 6 of the instruction pdf (see screenshot). It is to ensure that the archive file will always exist in a consistent format that is understood by the Plot News indicator.

If you want to strip all of the double quotes (") out of the output file, simply load it into a good text editor (e.g. I use Notepad++), and perform a search/replace.

Fixed bug: the News Downloader.exe app now correctly handles ampersand ( & ) and semi-colon ( ; ) symbols in the FF calendar HTML.

Download latest version from post #1.

I've uploaded a new zip file of news events (News events 2007-01-01 thru 2018-04-06 timestamped New York time.zip) to post #1. This file has been completely rebuilt by downloading all 49,989 news events from the Forex Factory calendar back to Jan 1, 2007 (hence the data should now include any corrections made by Forex Factory after any given week's news events were originally uploaded). Enjoy!
