The factordb seems to be down. (It takes a few minutes to load and then gives an empty page.)

Edit: it's up again.

[QUOTE=schickel;231231]What kind of connection do you have the DB on? If I wanted to automate the downloading of aliquot sequences to check on progress, do I need to worry about using up too much bandwidth or running too many connections to the DB too quickly?[/QUOTE]

The max. upload is 3Mbit, no bandwidth limit. Try to keep it below 4 parallel connections, thats enough to keep the server busy.

[QUOTE=schickel;231232]Can you give me an example of a GET string to upload a factor? I'm sure it's obvious, but I can't get it to work...[/QUOTE]

Shame on me, that one is bugged. I'll try to fix it!

Thanks, thats what I was looking for.

Is it still possible to get a range of lines in .elf format rather than having to download an entire sequence in .elf format? That way I would not hit the DB so hard to do an update on reserved sequences. Basically, did you add (or could you add) the "raw=1" parameter?

Hmmm - is the DB down now?

What I mean is: can you add the "text only" or "raw" option to the "Last 20" option, so I don't have to download the entire elf just to get the last few lines?

[QUOTE=Andi_HB;231771]Hmmm - is the DB down now?[/QUOTE]Sure looks that way....[quote=downforeveryoneorjustme.com]It's not just you! [url]http://factordb.com[/url] looks down from here.[/quote]

Hello Syd. There is known factorizations of lucas and fibonacci numbers: [url]http://mersennus.net/fibonacci/[/url]

The database is all knowing.

Table 2^n+1 updatet till n=1000 - hope i havent missed known factors.

I have a script which adds factors from Kamada tables to the factorDB. It is only run a couple times per week.

P.S. Perhaps I should check if it still works with the new data base.

It appears to be working fine. :)
