the problem is not that the data doesn't download, it downloads fine, it even unzips fine. But that the end of it. It doesn't import into the metatrader history center. That's where I'm having trouble. I even went so far as to install the metatrader data center but I don't know how to use it, it's asking for a login and password, no idea where to get those or apply for them..it wants and internal and external address too...no clue what all that is...can anyone shed some light on this?
and/or
getting back to the history center of the metatrader import function, it asks for these user defined parameters; separator, skip columns, rows, shift, use selected only and volume. volume is checked by default, the separator is a comma by default the rest are blank or zero. the file to import is M1_EURUSD.hst when i click 'ok' nothing happens. no import occurs. what gives?

Here what I've found that works:
If you look at the file names of the files you've downloaded, you'll see they're not the same as the usual MT history files (the data that we can see on the chart). The downloaded files from alpari start with D1 or M1 while the regular start with EUR for example.
You should rename the ALPARI files, so they are the same format as the regural history files.

And this is not problem's end ...
When You do backtests, 2 years data 1M period, some of EAs generates HUGE logs files... even 7 Gigabites...

Write if you have problems implementing this.
