Is there any way to import sr(x)sieve output? Is this even desired? From my work at CRUS I have many lines that look like

[code]
10015783365641 | 404*23^882592-1
10022393651131 | 404*23^838048-1
10041085361579 | 404*23^885872-1
10087402684339 | 404*23^920216-1
10219806779753 | 404*23^732424-1
10231177241561 | 404*23^929264-1
[/code]meaning 10015783365641divides 404*23^882592-1 etc.
Copy-pasting in the "Report factors" box does not work

FactorDB was designed to store factors and primes up to 100k digits and that's really high enough. Factors like those from sieving results would blast the database.

I see. Thanks for the information.

As I type this, dozens of multiples of the P35: 88999999999999999999999999999999999 are being dumped into the database. I have factored a good 120 or more where this is a factor, and there are no signs of it letting up. I have since stopped factoring.

Maybe I shouldn't worry about this, but thought I would mention it as it seemed peculiar. Tell me not to worry about it and I won't.

Hello fellow factorisers,

some time ago (approx. 2 weeks), when I started to get interested in factordb, I also saw this specific P35 in a lot of small composites. I think someone is trying to find a fancy sequence.

I'm tackling the small composites from 70 to 85 digits with yoyo's script from time to time. I also try to clear the small PRP's (300 to 999 digits) that accumulated every 2 or 3 days.

Someone is flodding the FactorDB with 99 digit numbers which all contain the factor 17775554443332221112223334445557770123456789557977

like 17775554443332221112223334445557770123456789564501 * 17775554443332221112223334445557770123456789557977.

cmd-type typical, factor those numbers by yourself! It's annoying!

I'm not very knowledgeable, but surely they HAVE to know that these are the factors, right? You don't just accidentally or coincidentally submit hundreds of numbers with the same factor. Do you?

Is somebody doing this maliciously?

Yes, every now and then, some people are submitting entries of no interest to FactorDB, and this behaviour is probably more than severe incompetence - maliciousness, you named it.

Isn't it possible to ban the IPs of these idiots?

It is possible, but bans based on IP addresses are easy to work around...
