There is a way to know how much time left when downloading historical data? It's seems to take too much time downloading historical data via Interactive Brokers Gateway.

Downloading Historical Data

-
The is no countdown timer for historical data downloads because typically it's quite fast.
Unfortunately, Interactive Brokers restricts the speed at which historical data can be downloaded when using third-party apps like NinjaTrader. There is no work-around for this other than using a data provider that does not have a smiliar limitation.
-
NinjaTrader has 3 levels of data access: From provider, from cache, and from memory.- From provider is naturally the slowest, since data has to be transferred over the internet from your connected data provider.
- From cache is much faster, since we cache the data to the hard drive and load from there on any subsequent request.
- From memory is the fastest and typically results in "instant" chart loads, which is possible since the data is already in use by NinjaTrader so we don't have to make a trip to the cache or the provider.
Here is a link with more information about how this works:
