I'm testing it out to a if I should start using it, and while trying to figure out some of the bank account configuration, I saw it connected to ofxhome.com to pull information. So, of course I went there to look for data I was interested in. At the top of the home page is a message about the site shutting down, with a link to http://www.ofxhome.com/ofxforum/viewtopic.php?id=49843

I have a patch sitting here that I can easily apply which will remove the ofxhome UI parts and allows only manual data entry.
I know that it is not really user friendly, but having the ofxhome interface and service does not work is equally bad.

In case I don't get any massive objections to that move or we can solve the issue in another way, I will add the aforementioned code change at the end of the month to both the stable and master branch.
