Space-Track now requires secure HTTP (SSL) connections to download TLEs. 
You'll notice that when you visit Space-Track, it now uses "https". They 
have been advertising this change for several weeks and have finally 
switched over.

My install of NLSA Nova (version 2.2.0.48) can no longer download from 
Space-Track.

I'd recommend either downloading from Celestrak, or using a tool that 
can download from Space-Track:
