The third point is that the program updates the server database ( currently with 179 servers ) whenever there's a new version available at Cosmos. The reason for this list is because, sometimes, one NIST server is down - the program will try automatically the second, and so on...

I hope you default the server to pool.ntp.org or some of the stratum 2
or lower public access servers for use by individuals and small
organizations (or those without a need for time continuously accurate
to low microseconds or better) and *NOT* one of the stratum 1 public
access servers that are intended to serve time to large organizations
(or those with a need for time continuously accurate to low
microseconds or better).
