You will probably get a "PrimeNet error 11" but you should not have to send the result by e-mail; the server should take it happily enough. Sometimes but not always "PrimeNet error 3" occurs with exponents which already have been double-checked, only those need to be e-mailed. > In that case you will have to change the line > in your worktodo.ini file (found in the directory where you installed > Prime95) from "Test=38438993,69,1" to "Doublecheck=38438993,69,1" The only difference between "Test=" and "Doublecheck=" is how deep P-1 factoring is done, if it has not already been completed. > > If you want to skip this exponent and start a new one, just delete the > line from your worktodo.ini file.
