That's a pitty, indeed. So the last alternative is using the
getQuandl-package which gets data from quandl.

Running the sample script, btw, returns an error of the type:
<output
In regard to function start_date (package getQuandl):
Warning: "$pd=1"
 obsolete use of "=" as Boolean test: please use "=="
</output>
