S185 is still running ;)

S883 tested to n=200K

nothing found

Results emailed - Base released

Didn't see any changes in the tables for R607, but I got confirmation that my files (to 10k, 675 k's remaining) were received.
Continuing with R607 from 10k to 25k (got to about n=11500 already, 13 new primes found).
ETA is about April or May.

S648 tested to n=300K

This is incorrect. 1 prime was found for n=150K-300K shown below. 6 k's remain.

See your Email. I did not receive any files for n=100K-150K so I cannot tell if there are more primes. The above is tentative until I receive the remaining files. (I also did not receive any residues for R648 n=100K-200K. The residues files sent were only S648.)

It is a lot of effort to keep up with all of the bases so this is distressing to me. By nature this project must be very exacting. Please be dilegent in checking your files for primes and completeness of ranges sent. Due to the missing files, in the future please report here where you started as in "completed n=100K-300K"...not..."completed thru n=300K". A person looking at in the future will not be able to tell where you started. Thank you.

Prime:
144*648^102694+1

That was a trial for myself to get used with the tools, and no reservation was done. If the results are of any use, I can send them somewhere. Anyone willing to check if I did at least something right? There are many files, some duplicates, as I used few of my own tools too. The heaviest part is the cllr logs. Are they necessary to be sent? If I drop everything in a zip (without exe files :P) the result is 14 megs. Without cllr logs there are only ~235k of zip (which is the primes and the remaining k's). Advice? (I mean, I always see "result emailed, base released", what is the proper way to do that? I assume I already have the right email address got by PM).

[edit: the job took about 16 day, single core, small pauses for the stupid programmer to understand what he is doing]

In the future, I'm going to ask that you use the starting bases script. Was it used? If not, it is going to take me a fair amount of time to verify that this is correct.

Got the mail reply, thanks. The "multiple" primes came from the fact that I did more tests, until I "refined" my tools. I also used the starting base script, as you could recognize some files with primes. About testing some k's after finding a prime, well, when I started I didn't know the LLR option called "StopOnPrimedK=1", and I was wasting less time by testing the same k's for higher n than I should waste to "purge" those k from the sieve file. I even did a script for that, hahaha, until I got enough clever to read the documentation of LLR. I am happy that everything turned out well and no prime was missing at the end. The reason why I started this base was exactly to learn the tools. Now I know how to do it.

After reviewing the files I'm confused as to how you could have used the starting bases script. The n<=50 primes file contained primes for k's that were a multiple of the base where k - 1 was composite. The starting bases script would not have tested those k's. It would have put them in a separate file named pl_MOB. Regardless it looks like everything is OK.
