Yes.

I've tried 3 or 4 times over 2 days to install Financial Quotes and I get the same fail every time.

When I went to those CSPAN URLs it asked me for my password to log in, which I didn't know, not ever having tried to log in before. I was able to log in as guest but that didn't seem to make a difference for the Gnucash install.

Thanks for your help,
