[Dxspider-support] Auto updating Keplerian elements.

[Dirk Koopman]

Have you checked that it works manually from the command line and do you
get some output that looks rather like the example below?

[spider at nnb] $ wget -N http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt
--11:49:07--  http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt
           => `amateur.txt'
