Hi,

I just installed zipline and was trying to ingest data using the command

QUANDL_API_KEY=<API_KEY> zipline ingest -b quandl


The first step succeed and the second one has been running for quite a bit of time now. Does it really take that long? I have a Mac OSX High Sierra 10.13.3 with 16 GB RAM running conda python 2.7.

Downloading WIKI metadata:   [####################################]

Merging daily equity files:  [----#-------------------------------]  234 



The numbers at the end of the log keeps changing. Initially it was pretty fast but now it changes every 4-5 seconds or so.
Please let me know if this is expected or something could be wrong. I ran it the first time for almost an hour before retrying after an abort.

Regards,
Boney

What command are you running?  I ingested the bundle quandtopian-quandl today without a problem.
