When I was checking my individual account page thing, I noticed that several
of the numbers I was supposed to be factoring didn't appear in my list. I
then checked the Hourly World Test Status, Assignments Report file, and
found that the numbers I had have now been assigned to other people. I
I recall a problem of some sort recently with older versions of the
client snagging 20K exponents for factoring even though they aren't
capable of factoring ones that big...
Perhaps in fixing that bugaboo, some exponents were re-released that
shouldn't have been?
What version of the prime
Was using 21.4.2, now on 22.9.2 (upgraded today). It only grabbed a few
exponents when I started it, and it wasn't that the program released them,
they were just re-assigned by the server. The trouble is, I have now
completed one of these factoring jobs, and it's no longer assigned to me,

The work will not get duplicated if the exponent was picked up by one of

In that case, I assume that we have to wait for the 90 day timeout and
then hope a new client picks it up?
Perhaps the next Mersenne
Oops... mistakes happen though. :)
Out of my 16 factoring exponents above 20,500,000, I only found 2 that
had been reassigned. And they weren't the current exponents anyway... I
just forced those machines to check-in and it released them and grabbed
new ones just fine. Most of my machines are
