That would be a good feature to request getting added to SEIV. A way to validate a turn file from the command line. That would allow PBW to report the error when it receives our turn so that we could download the proper turn and redo it.

I have downloaded the same turn several times just to make sure I have the right one (50 hour turn intervals). I might download it to look at battles right away, but I may not have had time to actually do the turn. Then when I come back to it, I cannot remember if I have the right turn. This was not a problem until I started playing more games than I can keep track of.

I have found it easier to track having my turns attached to emails and sending them back that way rather than downloading and uploading the turns. Emailing works better because I can look at the times when I received the turn and the notificaiton that PBW received my reply.

Otherwise, if I download a turn and look at it, I still download it when I come back later to do the turn just to make sure I have the right Version. Having a cable modem I am not that concerned about downloading extra times.
