Here is a graph of the progress as reported.

I have adjusted the parameters a bit, this should be nearly the final form for future charts.[list][*]Start at 60bit, up to 73.[*]Only the exponents without factors are points online, 43 right now.[*]The tick marks across the bottom include all prime exponents (including those factored out), 88 total right now.[*]51% factored out.[/list]

Luigi,

You should start a thread in the factoring forum for your Factor3 program.

I found a problem with Factor3_2b: If the input file contains a line like this:
[code]334234212,1.50[/code]
Windows will have an error and lock up.

I found this when I edited an input file and accidently hit [color=red].[/color] and not [color=red],[/color]

They know about the program, since I posted a few messages there. I think that talking there about Factor3 would be considered a spam-like message :grin: and I don't want to publicize anything I did: if the program works, users will talk about it.

As for the problem, I was aware that error-catching routine was not 100% reliable: I will look into it and find out a quick answer. Thank you for spotting that bug!

Taking them from 65 bits to 66 bits.

My computer froze up 98.7% of the way with 3321929041. It didn't say there was afactor until that point. So if it finds a factor, do you have to wait till the end or will it say immediately in the program?

It says so right away and continues to the bit depth input. :confused:

If it finds a factor, it will show it immediately.
You can resume your work from 98.7% using the parameter "-r".

No factors.... :sad:

FYI

The "100Million digits prefactor project" page is now up :banana:

The url: [URL=http://www.geocities.com/onehundredmdpp/index.htm]http://www.geocities.com/onehundredmdpp/index.htm[/URL] , to bad geocities does not allow starting their pages with numbers.

Well they do allow you to start pages with numbers, just not your yahoo username which is the first entry after geocities.

Take for example [url]http://www.geocities.com/tommyzink/200309/both.html[/url]
