As far as I can tell, the “this week’s updates” KMZ file is not a live network link. In fact, it appears to be a folder saved from someone’s “Temporary Files” folder. Am I missing something? Can you confirm?
Sorry, you are right, technically it’s not a ready-made network link, but as I am assuming that the URL will stay the same from week to week (http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/current_volcs/volcanokmz/thisweek.kmz), you can use that to roll your own network link. Here’s how.
1. Copy the above URL
2. Go to Add > Network Link in Google Earth
3. Paste the URL into the LOcation field
4. Click OK.
This way, every time you start up Google Earth, the application will download a fresh copy of the contents at that URL. As long as the name of the file stays the same, you’ll always have the latest data.
