No biggee. I think I've already picked up and completed one of helly's expiries. Most likely either I or one of the other people who pick up factoring expiries will get it and finish it quickly.17914693 at helly will expire very soon according to the 60 days rule. And I can't do anything about it. It just will happen.
Do you know what version jansta is running? It may be an older version which George mentioned may do the "restart iterations at every bit level" thing. But I have records of those trailing edge exponents and jansta has been working on 18112949 since at least Nov. 20th. There is no urgency in getting them done, just concern that if the machine is having problems and continuing to restart the exponent over and over, it will never finish it. If the machine is fine, and just working slowly, then just leave it be, especially if it is running version 18 or earlier, because IIRC those versions can't cope with the higher exponents being assigned now.The Jansta run very well. The 6. november last year it completed 17950937. It's probably now a 100 mhz running irregularily - it has had a better reputation. If anybody think I should get finished with these 18.2xx.xxx assignments I will complete them in only a few days.
