    Thanks to all of the SeeSat readers who expressed their own but similar
    problems today as well ... I am open to suggestions as to how one can
    download the data without doing it a file at a time from the web site using
    point and click ...
    
    /////////////////////////////////
    Try this.....
    d/l 
    ftp://members.aol.com/mir16609/kelso.zip
    
    It's only a 1k file.  Inside is a small VB Script file (ASCII text). I keep 
    it in a directory c:\kelso and I execute it once per day while I'm online.  
    It retrieves the files at Celestrak.com and put them into c:\kelso.  It 
    should be easy to tailor it to your directory.  I just tested it now (03:00 
    UTC, 23 August) and it still works. 
    
    I just put the Kelso files in 
    ftp://members.aol.com/mir16609/kelso/
    WINFTP sould be able to d/l the group.
