Thanks! Please PM me if you have any problems uploading; the OS on the machine was upgraded on Sunday, and I was getting 'too many connections' messages this morning which I'd not seen before.

It looks as if the duplication rate is higher than I'd expected, so we should probably go up to 120M rather than 100M. Best of luck with the sieving.

I was seeing those same messages last night, but this morning everything seems to be working fine. A-side has been uploaded, R is on its way (from the 48-54 reservation).

Timings:
14Msec on K8/1400: approx. total A+R time for 48-54M.

96-100 done. Took 10MQ on k8/1400. 11405186 relations.

taking 110-115.

edit2:
I'm seeing the "too many connections" error on the ftp server again. will try again in the morning.

The sysadmin on the ftp-server machine has been informed; it looks as if the connection-tracking is not noticing when some kinds of connection are closed. I suspect that he'll want to investigate further rather than simply bumping up the limit again.

In the meantime, try anonymous ftp to my username.dyndns.org and put the relations in directory M859. It's not as well-armoured a machine as chiark, so it will not be up indefinitely (also the partition has only 4GB free space), and it may come down rather briskly if it ends up full of warez, but it'll do for today.

Update:

I only got about 19MB uploaded before I got > Netout: Connection reset by peer.

It won't let me re-upload, saying it can't create the file.

And chiark is still refusing new connections.

An Idea for now might be http://www.rapidshare.com/ - there you can upload up to 200 MB.

Would putting a username/password on it (and publishing the password here) work? That's what I do for the FTP server I run for the Aliquot Sequences team sieves, and I haven't gotten any warez (yet).

I'll pester chiark's sysadmin again tomorrow: he spends Wednesday evenings rock-climbing in a town fifty miles away. Does trying to upload to the other ftp server under a different filename work?

Can't seem to connect there now either:

X:\buhrow\ggnfs\2-859>ftp *.dyndns.org
Connected to *.dyndns.org.
Connection closed by remote host.

* = your username

There are just shy of 700 zipped MB of relations. I guess I could break them up into smaller chunks or something, but seems like too much of a pain. I have plenty of disk, and the relations seem to be content there for now.
