error in using yahoo to connect yahaoo finance

Hi, Friends, I use yahoo finance everyday to download finance data. However, since today, it has below error. Any one has idea what is happening from yahoo side? Any alternative yahoo server address to resolve the issue?

>> conn = yahoo('http://download.finance.yahoo.com'); ??? Error using ==> yahoo at 56 Unable to connect to given URL.

I could not reproduce this error. Have you had any recent updates on the computer? Are there Firewall restrictions?

Also, it is not necessary to provide the URL, as this is the default URL anyhow:

conn = yahoo; %sufficient

I would only use the URL if I needed to specify the port.

Same as the above comment. "conn = yahoo" is sufficient

>> conn = yahoo('http://download.finance.yahoo.com')

conn = 

    yahoo with properties:

       url: 'http://download.finance.yahoo.com'
        ip: []
      port: []

>> conn2 = yahoo

conn2 = 

    yahoo with properties:

       url: 'http://download.finance.yahoo.com'
        ip: []
      port: []
