Hi Ya Kyle,
I tried it but it would not load the Nav.zip. I was stuck for 15 minutes (I figured that was long enough). Please see the attached screen shot for the where I was stuck.

Your right, it should only take a couple of seconds up to maybe 10 seconds. When the BATCH is originally launched, does it say that your BATCH is out of date? Can you send me a screenshot of the first Screen you see and then then the screen for where you type in the effective date but don’t press enter, just send that screenshot?
Best Regards,
Kyle Sanders

OK, here are the shots.
FYI, when I pressed 'a' for an updated bat file, it did not update it. I could not find an update greater than 1.1.1 on GitHub, so I put 'c' in.

I had this same problem with another guy.
His Powershell is out of date and it is not downloading anything.
Had it downloaded anything, you would see a version number next to "GitHub Version:"

What version windows are you running?
What version of Powershell do you have?

Using Windows 7
Looks like the version is 1.0

Should I download a more recent version?

My other guy was running Windows 7 as well. I Think that might be the problem. Try to get the most up to date version of Powershell that you can that is compatible with your Windows 7, update, then come back and try my batch file again.

Did a little research on why most people with Windows 7 can't use my BATCH Files.

My of my files use Powershell to grab data from the internet and does this via Powershell

To do this, the user needs Powershell v3 or higher. v5.1 or later is recommended.

You can do that by downloading the Windows Management Framework:
