Factordb is down, can't connect to database

factordb is up again - hmm but not stable

I'm getting the same error as firejuggler: "Could not connect to database". I hope this gets fixed soon, as I have some factors to upload.

Hello,

What does factordb mean by I(144087) ? I've found a few numbers such as [url]http://factorization.ath.cx/index.php?id=1100000000442616971[/url] when looking for numbers of status unknown that can be easily factored. I've not tried google, I can't think of a useful search term.

Chris.

Why is there an Auto-Generated SNFS poly for M607? :huh: You can't use SNFS on a prime!

But if you could, that's the one you'd use... right?

Seems to be working now.

EDIT: Scratch that. I've started to get problems, as well.

It's been OK for about 3 hours now. The fact it wasn't responding to pings makes me suspect the host has been rebooted. When it came back I noticed the load average for the last 5 and 15 minutes on the status page was about 40 (the load average for last minute was about 4). Which I would expect if it was restarting things and dealing with a backlog of work.
