Hi Keith!
Yes, I´ve dowloaded Bittorrent, used it and deinstalled it after the Download without Problems.
Kind regards
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for the info and apologies for not getting you name correct in my previous email.

I have never used the 'Bittorrent' system for downloading and have read that it is a bit risky without having a VPN set up also.

Did you use a VPN for your download?

Kind regards,

Keith

Hi Christopher,

I have been looking to download the USNO B1.0 catalogue but can not find a site where it is available'.

Are you able to disclose from where you downloaded a copy?

Kind regards,

Keith

Hi Christop,

My apologies; you've been led astray by some documentation that I need
to update.

If you get these two files :

http://www.projectpluto.com/usno_b1.tdf
http://www.projectpluto.com/ucac4.tdf

and put them in your Guide folder, you'll see "UCAC-4" and "USNO B1.0
from hard drive" in your Extras... Toggle User Dataset lists.

Those files were provided as part of the Guide 8 update file, and
they're present on the Guide 9 and 9.1 DVDs. But they are _not_
automatically installed from the Guide 9.x disk.

Incidentally, a note to first-time posters on this list: it may take
a little while before your first post is approved. After that, you won't
be moderated, and your posts will appear almost instantly. This list used
to be completely unmoderated, but that resulted in spam.
