Why should this be a bug?? The error message clearly says what the problem is: "time period is too big (maximum 2000 days can be downloaded)" I dont know whether this restriction is due to the data provider or to the package, but why not try a shorter time period or download the data in chunks?
My dates were: From 1 Jan 1900 till 31 Jan 1900. So it's not 2000 days.
x <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "GBP/USD", provider = "oanda", start="1900-01-01", end="1900-12-31")
