1. Fixed issue where new download time was calculated a 6 hours later than current download. If grib was over 35 minutes late, all subsequent downloads would also be late.
2. Can be used as a DC editor without downloading the grib. Radio button added to control this.
3. Added right click menu for copy, cut, paste, etc.
4. Window title updates with boat and race info on OK being pressed.

Added a parameter serverWaitTime to the ini file which is set to 120 seconds by default (serverWaitTime=120). When it detects a new grib file, it will wait that time before attempting to download to allow the servers to catch up.

Will work with Windows. Re-download the zip file and replace the .jar with this one.
