Use ML Dowloader from www.trading-tools.com . It does US and international and gives it to you in Metastock and ASCII. It's like $60 USD or something (one time fee, no monthly charge). Gets data from Yahoo, MSN, or other sites. Check it out. Very useful tool. I love it...
Do you know who provides Yahoo's pricing data? If it's Capital IQ as some of their pages suggest (although this may only be for fundamentals)...then it's pretty damn good data. The feed would be from S&P, and this is what a lot of hedge fund managers I know use (Capital IQ that is). I'm not sure if Capital IQ now provides all their pricing data or not, however.

Smart move. Yahoo's historical volume data for the DJIA and the S&P500 composite are identical. Yeah, that fills me with confidence.
