The date pulled from a website isn't guaranteed to be in the same timezone as that of the user, so that's one inconsistency. The other problem is a common one where an archiver or such extracts files with either their original save-date or the new date they're being extracted. Sometimes the local date on the computer is just... wrong.

There are a lot of possibilities for date errors. Not all of them are immediately apparent and that makes date/time-based updates trixy.
