If you guys can't get fivemack's server to work and need a spot for uploads, feel free to use the Aliquot sequence server I'm running at nplb-gb1.no-ip.org. Instructions for uploading can be found in any of the team sieve threads in the Aliquot Sequences forum; just replace the respective subdirectory name with "M851". :smile:

How on earth are you going to do the postprocessing? :missingteeth:

My ADSL went down at midnight; the fault has been reported ...

Nah, of course I wouldn't be doing the postprocessing...providing an FTP server doesn't always entail that. :wink: Besides, I don't think the chiark server is at fivemack's place either--correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he has to download them rather than having them plopped directly on one of his machines.

Actually, my nplb-gb1.no-ip.org FTP server is at a friend's place, not mine, so I don't have direct access to it, either. Everything that goes up has to come down as well. :smile:

Suppose this isn't the best time to report another 100M relations for
12, 256+ C228? I ended up sieving 200M-260M-(a+r), 66.3M unique
from -r, 200M-250M-a done so far on the other side (so I'm working
on the last 10M-a). -Bruce

It's always good to hear of an enormous chunk of relations available; I'll be in the pub with chiark's sysadmin tonight so there's the dimmest fragment of hope of some progress in that direction by the middle of tomorrow.

My equipment is entirely dedicated to sieving 2-859 at the moment, but I can run about 1800kQ on that in 24 hours at home plus around another 900kQ/day at work and have abut 12000kQ left to do, so will be ready for the 'small' filtering job on 2^859-1 and the larger filtering job on 12^256+1 by the middle of next week.

*.dyndns.org does seem to be up again and I have managed to push a 35M file to it; you can't overwrite files which are there already, so each upload attempt needs to be under a different name.

Sysadmin successfully contacted. ftp on chiark now seems to work.

Upload quickly before the intermittent connection-hangs-forever bug happens 100 times, which took about ten days last time.

AR110-115 data is on its way to dyndns.org as chiark was giving me login problems again.

13494312 relations taking 12.5Msec on k8/1400.

May the bandwidth rise for these relations,
May the wind be always at msieve's back....

Good luck with the post-processing :)

hey fivemack, ive uploaded what ive sieved of my range. its about 0.75M

[b]fivemack:[/b]Thanks, got it and am finishing the last piece now

Finished!

Matrix time on quad Barcelona continues to fit quite nicely the curve T = 1.5 hours * (matrix columns in millions)^2.3

Congratulation @ all! Good work
