Another composite ready for 14e. C209_125_122 has survived a full t55 by yoyo@Home and a few thousand more curves @B1=3e8 by me, with no factors found.

I tested your settings (though I goofed and set lambdas to 2.7 rather than 2.8, so not quite precisely the same; then I tested mfbr = 93 and rlambda = 3.7 to compare 3 large primes:
[code]
2R2A: Q=20M total yield: 9024, q=20005003 (0.14645 sec/rel)
3R2A: Q=20M total yield: 14978, q=20005003 (0.11966 sec/rel) [/code]
50% better yield, nice improvement in sec/rel. Sorry, didn't have time to test higher Q values to make sure the sec/rel improvement is across the board, but the large yield improvement means fewer of the big Q to sieve anyway.

@VBCurtis thank you so very much. I didn't think to check for 3LP with what seemed (to me at least) a somewhat generic poly. Was there something that made you investigate 3LPs or was it just good practice?

Either way you've made this composite much easier to sieve.

Not to be a pest, but can one of the gatekeepers feed 14e? Queue is almost empty.

Two things: SNFS-260 seemed way too big for 14e, and yield even with 32LP was below 2. I was worried this was going to be much easier on 15e, but we need 14e food; so I thought I'd try 3LP or 33LP to see if either one made the stretch into the 260s palatable for 14e. It has never before occurred to me to try 3LP on a 14e task, so I can't claim "good practice".
I did not try 33LP, but I would not be surprised to find a case in this size range where 14e/33 was likely to be quicker than 14e/32 (though I imagine such a case would be yet easier with 15e/31 or 15e/32). There's good fun in "how far can we stretch the 14e siever?". :boxer:

C209_125_122, C209_127_91, C185_86353_47 fed to the queue.

Thanks everyone for the more usable format of presenting trial sieving results; I have done the integrations in Excel and picked parameters I-hope-appropriately.

I am a much happier gatekeeper once I realise I should use Firefox rather than Safari for fettling the queue page from my Mac at home - Safari really slows down on a page with ten thousand editable text boxes.

There are two more composites available to feed 14e - see posts 1000-1001 of this thread. Sorry - I see you've found them.

Good to know about Safari vs Firefox performance. Of course, if you had a Windows box it wouldn't be an issue [ducks, runs away in a serpentine manner...];-)

Another OPN from the t600 file.

Does anyone have any advice on how to resume a download of the relations datafile? I was about a day and a half into downloading C237_12161_59 (10.5 Gb out of 12.4 Gb) when the download stopped due to a network error. I am using Chrome on Windows 10.

I figured it out. I used wget64 with the following command line:

127^121+121^127 is already factored, please remove it from 15e queue
