The original purpose of ASTORB was to produce elements every day, updated to that date. But E. Bowell, the original researcher, turned it over to others, and may have even retired.
On the other hand, there really isn't any reason to be updating your ASTORB elements more often than every 40 days for most minor planets. After all, there are the special daily lists for the NEO's you are interested in. I included the upload in ST4 for people with a more casual interest, because the MPC has really fallen down on the job.
