I am running About Time fine here. It will do standard SNTP just fine. I am not sure About Time does standard NTP server though but it will take time from a standard NTP server through its client mode. Make sure under the Servers tab you enable the servers. As for it being off 8 hours, No. NTP uses GMT to pass time around. A local offset is used by whatever OS or machine software you use to display things in local time.
