Sober.D URLDownloadToFileA Function.

These who disassembled Sober.D binary must have noticed the
URLDownloadToFileA function.
This function is triggered after some specific date I assume.
My assumption relies on NTP queries that Sober.D is sending.
After creating a NTP server which will give random time I noticed
that after specific reply Sober.D started to download files using
different URIs on 3 hosts.
The response (which triggered the URLDownloadToFileA function) that
my NTP server sent was |d5 93 4c 40| which is 5:40:05 PM 3/8/2004.

Here are some examples of HTTP requests that Sober.D made:

Connection: Keep-Alive

I tried to follow these URLs but the files just weren't there.
Now I'm not sure that there is a connection between NTP and HTTP
requests but the HTTP requests started to come 1 second after the
last NTP request.

I would like to hear your comments on this issue.

Good day,
Evgeny.
