It looks like it has some nice features including only downloading only updates instead of all the data and a nice systematic way of downloading decay information (which is new I think).
The one thing I am trying to figure out how it works is downloading updates when one has multiple clients. Is the last login stored on the server or on the client? Will I need to create separate accounts for each piece of software or merely maintain a cookie file?
On a related note, how widely available is space-track data? I realize amsat, celestrak, and others have agreements to redistribute data. But what do the restrictions to non-US persons look like?
