US Stock Exchange symbols not up to date?

I just got a trial account, and so far I'm having trouble downloading an up-to-date list of symbols for US stock exchange.

The US stock exchange downloader is even described as having ~9400 symbols, but the one I have only lists ~8200 symbols. Even when I run the downloader,
the number of symbols does not update. New historical data for the symbols already contained is added, but I'm still lacking a comprehensive list of symbols.

How do I fix this?
