Hi Odin,

Assignments in the 50M range should be trial factored to 2^69 before the LL test, unless the bounds have changed since version 24.12. George worked out that's optimum in terms of work done overall.

The way it's supposed to happen is: TF to 2^68, P-1, TF to 2^69, LL. I thought the client (mprime or prime95) automatically did any missing factoring steps before the LL, so you shouldn't need to do anything manually. Has your LL test started?

(Mini-Geek beat me to it!)
