Hi, I use your library extensively, and it seems the Fama french option doesnt work anymore -

I tried tracing the error - perhaps the url has changed (or denied access) -

Is there a way you could fix this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the report! This was fixed in #53.

Please update to the latest master, otherwise specifying web.DataReader("5_Industry_Portfolios_TXT", "famafrench") can be a temp workaround.
