Why would one need this? Can't you download EOD data? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Tom-

sometimes when you want to back-test a strategy ; you might want to do so with data over few years and most of the brokers will only supply few month at the most.

This gives you flexibility and ability to get data from many 3rd party sources.
