There could be, the trick is that as soon as a a file is added to the collection it's either missing from the master torrent, or if I regenerate the big torrent then it fragments the seeding base. Perhaps if I schedule it to regenerate the torrent once a month those who wish to help mirror can update their torrent to the latest version, the vast majority of the contents would be unchanged from one month to the next. The other problem is that while each individual file is available over HTTP, I'm not sure if it's possible to have a webseed for all the files. I've read conflicting opinions, but haven't been able to get it to work in my testing.

Nevertheless, we can give it a go. There's now a link in the top-right of the home page, and it should auto-update just after midnight on the first of every month.

Thanks, I have put it on my always-seeding machine. Let's see whether it works!

I'm working on generating a wget file list that you could use to grab the collection from my server first, before making my home machine upload 10GB to you.

Oh, okay, then I will stop until then.

There's now a .txt file linked in the same place with a few thousand curl lines that you should be able to run as a batch to re-create the mirror structure locally, grabbing via HTTP from my server. Then you can fire up the torrent and recheck and should have all the files where they should be.

Another minor thing:
On the Factoring Beyond First Factor page, the "maximum number of known factors" only goes to 11 - most factors known currently is 12 (while the max on the Exponents with the most known factors page goes to 20).

Thanks, fixed.

On an unrelated side note, I've moved mersenne.ca to PHP8 and it required a thousand little tweaks, most of which I think I did correctly but there's still a few error reports trickling in. If you see an error message, that's probably why. I've probably already seen the report, but feel free to report any errors anyways.

Beyond a simple find -type f -name *.php -exec php -l {} \;, I also like to use the PHP Coding Standards Fixer that came out of the Symphony framework. In particular, I'd check it against the @PHP82Migration rule set.

James, It's my first time seeing ECM t-level in the TF factor-bounds graph. What a nice addition!

Three minor suggestions (these are truly suggestions your work is fabulous and appreciated)

"almost certain no factors below" my brain prefers a more active(?) tense something like "almost certainly no factors below" or "highly unlikely that any factors have been missed below"

"all ranges fully TF'd: 67" does "all exponent double check TF'd: 67.9" sound better? Maybe this should also link to https://www.mersenne.ca/tjaoi.php

Would it be possible to make the dotted line signifying ECM progress 100% height? I managed to mock it up by adding <div style="position: absolute; z-index: 66; bottom: 0; height: 100%; border-right: 2px black dashed; right: -16.23%;"><div>

Thanks for the suggestions, how does it look now? (you may need a ctrl-F5 to refresh the cached page).
