Good place for historical quotes?

I'm looking for a good place to find free historical quotes going back at leat 5 - 10 years. I also want to be able to see quotes like GPB/JPY not just quotes in US Dollars.

The only place I've found that has free intraday forex is here. The site is in Russian, so it's a bit hard to find your way around, but it has minute data back to 2001. There are other sites, but their data has lots of errors and is really bad for backtesting.

The major problem with this site is that you have to download every day individually (all four years worth!). It's a labour of love to do, I can tell you...

Hani, I tried using the DukasCopy data (where the Worksmart data comes from) and found it to be really dirty - lots of spikes and openings of bars not matching previous closes by more than 10 pips. Has the data improved recently?

Forexite

I downloaded several days data from here...... looks pretty good. at least for my purposes........

I don't use the data for backtesting...... I use it for charting only and the Forexite data seems fine for that

Thanks Carson
