Hi Floyd,
I was able to get Orbitron to update using http://www.amsat.org/tle/current/nasabare.txt It needs the "s" removed from the URL. Check that you do not have a space at the front of the URL in Orbitron's TLE Updater. The attached screen shots show it working correctly. While you are in the TLE Updater, check that all the "Celestrak" URLs are set to "celestrak.org" NOT "celestrak.com" which was the default setting.
Let me know if you still have problems.

Interesting. If you plug my link into a browser you get the list displayed. FTP access was disabled some time ago I think I recall. I guess the ftp part forces a different delivery method?

I now keep my nasabare.txt file on my desktop and get Orbitron to read it from there. It has something to do with the setup/tle updater settings in that celestrack does not work anymore ?? Long time since I had to change it and get it to work. I use Orbitron to control my rotor for EME but use LVBtracker for satellite work.
At one point there was lots of discussion about this issue so you may want to look back in the list to see.
