Noted. I've emailed Ron asking if there is a way to verify this.
Game on hold pending results of investigation.

Borg see two possible results of investigation
{
no trace found
}
or
{
some indication of corrupted transfer
}
no trace found most likely as internet connection problem would mean no communication reached Autohost. Even reaching autohost may not have left trace in log file.
IF sotek gets rollback/resubmit even if no trace found THEN
{
no point waiting for Ron
}
...
Borg suggest in future cases
{
everyone responsible to verify autohost received file 5 minutes after sending, no rollbacks in similar situations
}
because
{
otherwise potential for cheating (adding moves after seeing furture situation) by someone who misses a turn due to being busy, etc.
hassle/frustration from future redoing of turns
}
...
Borg also suggest some improvement to automatic scripting may be possible to have response from Autohost after turn upload recorded and displayed when script done "file received xxxx bytes, blah blah blah"
Borg leader has some knowledge of visual basic. Weaker on perl, java but might manage with them as well. (Prefers c++)
