Thanks for the info, the change to https: explains everything. I have just discovered that I can manually download a compressed file from Space-Track, extract the text file, and manually update Nova from the text file. Looks like Celestrack could make that process a lot easier, so I will explore that next.

Nova hasn't been upgraded since 2008 ( and it had so many little bugs to fix !! ) so I'm not going to sit around waiting to see if they put out a new version.

Thanks again, Richard K7MDH
