That's a bummer! :-)  I always find it the most interesting to check out
the places where the program have differing opinions, to follow the game
and see
when the one that is wrong finally figures it out!

Maybe you could keep a version with the times and score stamps available
as well?  Many North Americans have reasonably quick connections.  For
instance, I pay a cable modem provider $CDN 40/month, and I get about
600kb/s to my home computer.  I don't do much waiting, and I'm sure
there are people with connections one heck of a lot faster than mine.
