Hi Bob,

I see the problem. To fix the "download failed" problem, you need to update the "celestrak" URLs from celestrak.com to celestrak.org. The address of that site has changed from ".com" to ".org". there was a redirect on the site but it seems that the redirect has gone. To update these you need to edit the Celestrak.SQF file. You can find this from the "?" in the main menu. Then select "Auxiliary files" and you will see "Celestrak.SQF" at the bottom. This should open in "Notepad" and allow you to edit the file. Save it, then close and restart Sat32PC. This should fix the "download failed" problem. "amateur.txt" will be using old keps and is probably wrong. "nasa.all" comes from amsat.org and should be ok. Check with one of the online sites to see how your Sat32PC compares with these. https://www.amsat.org/track/index.php https://www.n2yo.com/ https://www.heavens-above.com/

Let me know if this works for you.

Greetings all-I realize the ISS can change orbit slightly.  When I use the amateur.txt file to track it it's in one position, when I use nasa.all file it's somewhere else.  I thought when I clicked "up-date keps everything was updated.  When selecting the source files provided in satpc32 I get a lot of "download failed".  Help with confusion please.  Thanks 73 Bob W7LRD
