Unable to download the Tycho 2 Star Catalog

[Ben Cooksley]

HI Jasem,

To start, given this is a MacOS specific issue, i'd like to ask if any
debug logs from the client side are available?

It would be helpful to know what exactly KStars is seeing that makes it
fail, as a file not found error could be as simple as KArchive being unable
to unpack an archive due to a helper not being available on MacOS, or it
could be the HTTPS libraries being particularly sensitive/delicate on
MacOS...

Cheers,
Ben
