| 547363 | 2007-05-05 07:10:00 | So being that some versions of windows are end of life, MS probably wont be providing a patch for the change to NZ's daylight saving times. so....... I have knocked up a patch for most versions of windows. Mirror #1: mirror.erayd.net Mirror #2: www.imagef1.net.nz Original host: www.theanswerguy.co.nz/nzdt_update.zip win9x version and a win2k version. feel free to pass re-distribute as you see fit but do so at NO COST. keep in mind that this is free and I take no responsibility if it stuffs up your system. |

| 547366 | 2007-05-06 08:10:00 | The download speed on that was insanely slow, and the reverse lookup makes it seem suspiciously like a 128k ADSL upload - is it? Latency was also around 1000ms, as compared to 25ms for most other NZ-based sites. Do you want me to mirror that file for you? Serving that via ADSL can't be much fun... [edit: Latency dropped to around 100ms when I tested it while not simultaneously downloading your file.] |

| 547371 | 2007-05-06 09:46:00 | And why not just time sync in Win with an internet server? Oh wait. Do not sync with PressF1 servers. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 547372 | 2007-05-06 10:15:00 | Time synching uses UTC/GMT, your computer still has to know what time zone and DST rules you're working under. | PaulD (232) | ||
