Admiral Zero? Ouch. =)

You're right, typically the 20 minute upload is not necessary. In this case though, I connected to the server expecting to get a new turn, and instead it uploaded the few clicks that I had made while examining the previous turn. So then I had to do the entire turn that night, before everyone else finished, etc. etc.
Oops, sorry about your name AdmiralZhao.

I see your turn situation. Same things happened to me few games ago. Since then I always connect to the server first by clicking "enter" intead of entering password. This way I can see the status of the server - how many hours left, and who sumbitted their turns and who didn't, as well as visual indicator that either or not new turn is ready (if it is, the client shows "downloading new turn" dialog briefly, but terminates it a second later due to wrong password. And if I have made few clicks while watching the turn earlier, my uncomplete turn won't be uploaded.

Anyway, in your case it sounds like it was simple accident, I am sure you know all these little tricks. Now if only we could have the server working, I am eager to see how the first turn of global 4 fronts war went for my nation. (on few previous turns either I was stalling, or one of my opponents, or I was not in war with Fomoria yet) I have spent a lot of time on this one, I hope my opponents will feel it...
