wget 1.8.2 will not work here!
It does not support the option -O to download a page into a file.

I've used this before, too, until I was aware of this.

Hmm...I use wget all the time to download files on the command line and have never needed to use -O. I just use "wget [I]url[/I]" which takes the file at the specified URL and saves it to the current directory. (Or does that not work with older wget versions?)

Can older wget versions at least print the downloaded file to stdout? If so, then that could probably work with some slight modifications to the batch script.

Rats! Thanks for the warning -- good thing I hadn't gotten around to trying it yet. I was testing DO.BAT with echo on, on Win98. :wink:

P.S. Got some partial output on Win98. DO.BAT does run, but the server is still down so no actual work is getting downloaded. While I wait, I will change the command from FINDSTR -- you were right, it wasn't working.

At what point should someone consider to discontinue the search on an exponent ... 66, 67, 68 bits?

[QUOTE=ET_;253692]It seems that my page is having more success than expected... :smile:

I'm getting too many [COLOR=Red]500 Internal Server Error[/COLOR], so I will lower the k request from 500,000 to 400,000 tonight, and see if the problem goes away.
[/QUOTE]Luigi,

When I use your page manually now, 500 Internal Server Error occurs about 3/4 of the time.

kar_bon,

I got both DO.BAT and runGIMPS.BAT to work properly on the Win98 machine -- thanks, at least in part, to your changes. With runGIMPS.BAT, where I can set the specific exponent to test, I can refresh and see the numbers on the webpage changing each time there's a result. :smile:

Great work!

Rodrigo

fatal error
 

I'm getting this since a few minutes:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1310720) (tried to allocate 16 bytes)

I know. Unfortunately, I have not been home last weekend. Hope I can modify the script soon, sorry for the inconvenience...

Luigi

[COLOR="Red"]Edit[/COLOR]: I lowered the chunk of k to work with. Now the page appears more responsive, and I guess you can start your scriptds to test it. :smile:
Let me know if it keeps working.

Question for the users of the online factoring applet:

I need to know how many f you are interested in testing already factored exponents. If no one is interested, I may visualize only non factored exponents and maybe raise the delta_k in the inner routine.

Luigi

I'm still only getting fatal out of memory errors ... for the last few hours.

It works for me, now... :smile:
