Mersenne: Common practice for P-1 math?

2000-06-13 Thread Eric Hahn
Greetings all, I was wondering if it was common practice (ie: the norm) for P-1 to take the product of two or more factors when giving out a found factor, if two of more factors are found? To clarify, I was curious about how P-1 would indicate more than one factor being found. So, I took

Hi, In the last three weeks prime95 hasn't succeeded in contacting the Primenet server. I have changed the UseHTTP=0 line in the prime.ini to UseHTTP=1 and restarted the program but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Benny

Mersenne: Are The M-Monsters Available For Trial Factoring?

2000-06-13 Thread Stefan Struiker
TeamG: Love factoring on a fast machine because turnaround is zippy, and I actually get a result to crow about every 5 or so attempts. Factoring assignments are assigned, it seems, by PrimeNet only by that Mystery Algorithm, which I would dearly love to override, in order to get a 10,000,000
