I'm looking at the chart at http://mersenne.org/primenet/ where there are no exponents below 42,500,000 available for LL. I should think the low numbers available are allocated very quickly, so they won't be around for long. The statistics suggest that over 70,000 machines are playing at the moment, so it will never be very long till one of them wants a new number to attempt to factor or test with LL. When I joined in 1996, I started with numbers in the range of 928,000.
