Hello Guy,


Here is one that gives you the actual time instead of parroting
your computer's clock:

Just tried and it was two seconds late versus WWVB. I don't think accurate time can be sent via the web.

I had one (didn't need it so I uninstalled it) that would measure the
round trip time to a time server, divide by two, and compensate. The
round trip time was typically in the tens of msec.

....How about a full-featured SNTPv4 time setting utility:

fully free, allows a large selection of NTP servers, keeps track of your PC's errors, sets the time to within milliseconds, tells you how far off your setting is (my wife's is usually within 50ms after a sync), ...

Almost as good as the real OS time-sync utilities :-).
