Default Data Provider Question

I am really sick of trying to load a bunch of historical data with IB. The pacing violation is killing me... I can barely get data into NT.

So I'm thinking about a month of BarChart.com just to get symbol history loaded (I like 30-min charts for the past 60 days). Are there any issues like the pacing limit with BarChart.com?

Well, if anyone is interested or searches across this post, I went with BarChart.com to see how it goes. Man, MUCH faster historical data loading than IB. Very pleased thus far.
