QuoteMonster
Not a data source, but a script which will download historical or EOD data for US stocks (or other countries).
In order to set up a tickers file, use the Export All Codes button on the FCharts Settings screen (on the Import/Export tab). After renaming this file to tickers.txt you can use it as the source file for Quotemonster.
I can't give detailed instructions on using QuoteMonster - it involves setting up Perl and running commands from a Dos prompt. It includes a readme file explaining the usage.
Also on this site, you'll find a zip file containing a list of all AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, and OTCBB stocks.
