Downloading Historical Data for Backtesting

When I open a new demo account, I seem to have very little historical data for backtesting...maybe 1 month. If I slide the chart to the right towards earlier dates, it seems to slowly fill in the data for those dates, a very time consuming process, especially on 1M or 5M TFs.

So, in order to backtest starting, say, over 1 year back using all lower TF data, what's the best way to download that data to get the highest quality backtest? I haven't found a menu item to download historical data.
