   My experience is just the opposite: Tardis 2000 (version 1.6) is perfectly reliable for me, and when I ran NTPTime 4.3 as a service, it would keep exiting for no apparent reason.

   Reviewing 4.3 (May 4, 2008)

   My favorite NTP client software, simply because (1) It tries alternate servers in case of error, and (2) It is just plain reliable.
   
   I thought that Tardis 2000 was a good choice as well, until I ran it overnight and saw that it failed to query any NTP servers (why, I have no idea, but it was configured to check hourly).
   
   NTPTime could stand to have a few cherry-on-top features thrown in (ability to use random servers, ability to adjust clock rate rather than just resetting the time, etc.). It's open source, so maybe when I have more time and energy I'll give it a go.
   
   Really needs an installer. But it's still great.

   Setup is ridiculously inconvenient, but the software works very well. NTPTime can try alternate servers upon failure, which is a feature that many lesser utilities in this genre don't bother with (ah--reliability, who needs it?).
   
   I'm rating a 4 for setup, and a couple bugs I found.
