Subject says it all. The Celestrak website changed the URL format. The page at https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/ now points to a more dynamic query type URL. Using the GPS operational satellites as an example, the URL is:

https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=gps-ops&FORMAT=tle

Seems to work for me using the commit tag you e-mailed.

In the log I see:

If you have two of them (say https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=gps-ops&FORMAT=tle and https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=active&FORMAT=tle ) does the download code overwrite tle_gp.php or merge it?

It's overwriting it, so I'll have to fix that.
