Can we have Prime95 use the direct IP for PrimeNet (71.6.220.163) instead of v5.mersenne.org? That way, it can still contact the server should the user have DNS issues, etc.

Why do you think DNS exists? If the user is having DNS issues that's the user's problem. |

That said, I'm not convinced there's a real problem here. DNS problems are usually temporary, and a temporary breakdown in communication rarely causes harm. The client just keeps chugging away until contact is restored. |

My first guess would be that your network/Internet connection was not working at those times. The first thing to need the Internet during a connection is resolving the DNS name, and Prime95 just happens to use the CURL library. So yes, it could be a problem related to DNS or the CURL library, but the more fragile link, and so the more likely culprit, is your Internet connection. Unless you can confirm that during the time this was happening you were able to access the Internet.

Or it could just be that the PrimeNet server was down during that time; it wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
