Hello from Paris again ...
I get this on my stats, having 3 PCs ethernet connected, but only one on
have a modem dial-up network.
I do use for 2 years "FolderLan" (TM) which consists of copying the full
Prime folder of a satellite machine on my main machine when I want to update
Prime server results and/or get exponents. Works well, hum, worked well ?
Account ID LL P90* Exponents Fact.P90 Exponents P90 CPU
CPU yrs LL Tested CPU yrs* w/ Factor hrs/day
-------------- ------- --------- -------- --------- -------
omniware 4.833 17 0.251 5 87.67
On the other side, this number of exponents (17) tested is very less than
the reality.
I also have on the result page (knowing fr1 is the main machine, fr2 and 3
the others) :
------- Exponents Cleared since last Synchronization -------
prime fact Lucas-Lehmer residue or factor
exponent bits [residues partially masked] date returned computer

Factored composite : 0
Lucas-Lehmer composite: 15
Double-checked LL : 0
---------------------- -------
TOTAL : 15
Is this number normal (15) ? Shouln't it be added to the 17 ? It's for
months like that.
Then I read the FAQ and was surprised to see that FolderLan (R) (C) seems
not to make the LL credited anymore, or did I misread ?
I'm not running after points or results, but I don't understand how PrimeNet
could make their last server version working like that : It seems to me it
worked before (a few months ago).
I have 3 more machines ready for Prime, and they won't be connected to the
net. Should I manually enter results to the server ? Just forget it, don't
have time ! Forget Prime ? Huh.
And building a little proxy, should I on a Win 2K Pro ? Going to get DSL in
a few days (the cheap version - expensive here -, not shared between the
computers, only one), I'm not sure I will be able to set this up.
Anyway, 3 machines will still have no connection at all.
So distributed means connected ?
As I can understand technical reasons (like a UID per machine, etc), I can
see many computers and people that will not be happy of this.
I may have completely missed something, so please insult me if needed,
Masters.
