For some reason the download of astorb isn't working for me right now. I recently had a similar problem with another ftp site, so this may be a problem on my computer, but if others run into this, I found a workaround. In the extres.ini file in your ciel directory, find the following section: ; Asteroids database from Lowell Observatory ; [ASTORB] url=ftp.lowell.edu/pub/elgb/astorb.dat.gz info=http://asteroid.lowell.edu/ ;mirror file : ;url=ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cats/B/astorb/astorb.dat.gz ; Then replace the line: url=ftp.lowell.edu/pub/elgb/astorb.dat.gz with the mirror site url: url=ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cats/B/astorb/astorb.dat.gz so the whole section is now: ; Asteroids database from Lowell Observatory ; [ASTORB] url=ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cats/B/astorb/astorb.dat.gz info=http://asteroid.lowell.edu/ ;mirror file : ;url=ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cats/B/astorb/astorb.dat.gz ; Works for me, even though I hardly know what ftp means ;) -John ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your email and see which of your friends are online - Right on the New Yahoo.com (http://www.yahoo.com/preview) Yahoo!
