[quote=paleseptember;190261]I've since closed the cmd window, and going through my logs this was the last operation:

[Sep 18 2009, 19:41:05] c95: running gnfs (ggnfs)...
[Sep 18 2009, 19:59:45] c95: running 0 auto-increasing ecm curves...

Running windoze xp 32-bit, I think I have everything set up okay, but I don't really know how to check.[/quote]

There is one file in the ggnfs directory that needs editing. It didn't work for me at first either. Here is the thread that should give some hints that may be possible issues.

Edit: The 11th post has a summary of things I needed to do.

559398 and 559548 Done

Reserving 559170, 559312

553014 got rid of the "3" and "7" (is 2^4*3^3*7 a variant of the 2^4*3*7 driver?) and now has got the downguide at i=640, size 97

556440 556920 done

I've run 500 steps on 561360 - it goes down to 45 digits and back up again - and have a file with the 1500 primes required to do these 500 steps; how do I put the results into factorization.ath.cx?

1.) Open factorization.ath.cx
2.) click the link "report factors"

3.) Open the file, copy the new lines and past them into the input window in the "report factors" subpage of factorization.ath.cx
4.) Click "report"

it will take a while (maybe half a minute) until the database has processed all promes

I had to do this twice and press the 'repair sequence' button half-way through, but it seems to have worked. I suppose I'd better take 561360 to 100 digits now.

If 2^4*3*7 were a driver, I think that would indeed be a variant of it, but it's not. At best, it's a guide that's not listed at [url]http://www.mersennewiki.org/index.php/Aliquot_Sequences[/url] According to that page, the only driver or guide with 2^4 is the perfect number 2^4*31.

reserve 563598

554100 is done, 107 digits, 2*3
554346 is done, 103 digits, 2^3*3^2

559170, 559356 and 559566 Done

Reserving 558642, 558696, 559140
