Same Problem for me. Maybe an Issue with Python2. Try to use Python3 or put this on top of the YahooTickerDownloader.py file.

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

@olejardamir , was it a python2 problem? Is it resolved now?

Yes that is what it was. A second problem was reading the compressed file once the download completed. Sorry for not replying, I simply did not have time.
