Try here:
History Center for MetaTrader 4
I checked the Daily EURUSD zip, and the last modification of the contents was 24.01.2008 - yesterday, so the data must be up to date.

I have installed several MT 'flavours' already (IBFX, WCH,and Aleccohfx) and all their price data produce identical backtests for me.

I believe that regardless of the broker you got MT from, you almost always connect to the MetaQuotes server for historical data, as most brokers don't provide a separate data center you can use. Not sure about that, though, this is just my personal observation about the two-three brokers I have tried so far, and they were not IBFX, WCH nor Aleecohfx..

Also, I was under the impression that since Metaquotes removed the 'Recalculate' option, it was no longer possible to use third-party data - is this true?

As far as I can see, the "Import" button is still available, and you can import all kinds of formats. When my system failed the backtests against Alpari data, the "Recalculate" feature was still usable, though. Sorry, I am not very well informed, indeed..
Wish you luck!
