I have found on mine that sometimes a player will connect and get their .trn file, then work it offline for a later upload. The problem is that the .2h updates when they grab their .trn
Yes, I am aware of this. If a player connects, downloads his turn, then clicks to have a look at his turn before disconnecting first, then uses "Quit without saving", the server will update his *.2h file with the one he had before for whatever reason. If there are other players in the game with their turns pending then that player still shows as "turn pending", but if he was the last player to submit his turn and quickhosting was on, then the game even hosts and that player gets a stale turn. I think that's a bug.

I already have an option in the stats script to generate a pseudo-checksum file with the filesize of the *.2h files to determine if a player really did his turn or used what I described above. This takes care of that quirk.
