Subject: yahoo finance api:Timeout::Error: execution expired

i want  to download usa stock quote data via ruby-yahoo finance api,
here is my program:
require 'rubygems'
require 'yahoofinance'
file1=open('/home/pt/usacode','r')
file2=open('/home/pt/usadata','a+')
i=0
while line=file1.gets
line=line.chomp
i=i+1
print line,"    ",i,"\n"
YahooFinance::get_historical_quotes( line,
                                      Date.parse( '2005-09-09' ),
                                      Date.today() ) do |row|
  file2.puts "#{line},#{row.join(',')}"
end
end

there are 6000 companies in the file1 ,each company one line ,i use "i"
to count company,the program can run,but each time i can only download
about ten companies data,the output is
