Tried this several times and several different days, mostly using
DSS-1. I've done it and left it go in the background for a half hour
or so. Nothing.

I have a broadband "on all the time" connection, so that's not the issue.

"Get A2.0" works fine, and very quickly.

One other hint - since I'm on broadband, I use a firewall. The
firewall asked me to allow "Tear" (or something similar) to connect
the first time I got the A2.0 data. I've never gotten this when I try
the DSS.

As I said in my last post, my FOV is peppered with little LEDA and PGC
galaxy FITS images, e.g., PGC 48456.

Any other suggestions. Should get_dss.exe crash and burn when run from
the command line?
