Any way to limit the download of fidelity intraday data to a specific date-range? I've turned off streaming data, real-time update, etc - but unlike yahoo Fidelity doesn't give me a date range choice when creating a new dataset. So downloading each symbol is taking forever since it's trying to download every single 1-min bar for each symbol...

Yes, this is by design and can't be changed.
I can think of the following workaround: for any symbol, you'd create a dummy Bars object using 1-minute scale, append a bar of data that will define the starting date (e.g., 1/1/2010), save this to a file using the Bars.SaveToFile method. Finally, put this file to FidelityStaticProvider\1-minute (see the User Guide > Data on where WLP stores its data) - i.e. if the symbol is AAPL, you should put the file in ..\A\

The idea of downloading all of the data is so that you never have to request it again. Sure it's a little painful at first, but plan it for a weekend when your not at your computer. For this week, just request the data you need to trade - 1000 bars, or whatever.
