Hi,

I wanted to download some currency data using "quantmod" package, however
got following error :

> getSymbols('USD/GBP',src='yahoo')
Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, 
: 
  cannot open URL
'http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=USD/GBP&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=8&e=24&f=2009&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=USD/GBP&x=.csv'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m,  :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of that? Your help will be highly
appreciated.

Thanks
