I found that as it was referenced from the calea site. And NIMA points to another US government site that contains data for the US and Antartica (which the NIMA site doesn't). These places seem to be a better place to get the data than calea since you can get the data in a smaller number of downloads and you don't have to extract the data from html. There is also location data for other kinds of objects besides populated places.
