All these 57 bit factored exponents are in the 29M range where garo is working on.
I'm sure we'll have them soon at 60 bit.

25M is the next range waiting for primenet reservation. Some people try to get these exponents at least to 61/62 bit to support the TF process a little (leading edge of LL testing is coming closer). 25.2-25.5M is still available.

I've got an account on primenet that has TF's in the 23M range that are at 57 bits, I thought this is where they were, oh well :smile:

The numbers above only show exponents over 25M. There is a small bunch of exponents between 29.7 and 29.8M that are still at 57 bits.

I haven't worked on that range yet as I was afraid the person who "poached" the rest of the 29M range would turn the results in. (See my post about 15 posts above). But since they haven't , I'll get to work on them tomorrow. It should take a couple of weeks.

A correction to my previous post. The numbers at 57 bits are 29.8 to 29.9M. I've split the range into two and put two computers on it so it should be done in about 10 days.

good .... so in three updates there should no longer be a need for that row of the chart - go lmh :showoff:

I just submitted the last of the 57 bits results. Too bad I missed this week's update.

eh - i submitted one set on the 24th and one on the 25th - neither of which made this update - so your set for the 27th had no chance ....

Ah! I think a clue can be found in the "update date" on the GIMPS status page. Even though the timestamp on all the files - nofactor.zip, hrf3.zip etc. - is Dec 26 the update date is Dec 23 so I do not think any results after Dec 23rd were included.

The graphs at [URL=http://home.planet.nl/~tha/mersenne/]reflecting the amount of factoring done[/URL] have been updated to include all the 2003 updates.

This is great. Thanks tha.
