That is correct: <URL:http://www.garlic.com/~wedgingt/MMPstats.txt>
You could at least check this page (which should be well known) and email
the one who is listed there as working on the exponent (me) before handing
out ranges.

I have been factoring a bit above k=10^13 already, but with several large
gaps below. Start higher if you want to avoid duplicating work.
