I have submitted zipped and unzipped without problems, but sometimes a certificate does not provoke any reaction from the db. They simply disappear immediately after uploading.

I submitted zipped files recently - even this past week. They have to be .zip and not .gz or any other derivative. (I use the Compress menu item on my Mac.)

All the zipped files I've sent were from the linux archiver with .zip extension. Prior to the last big downtime of the db, all was well. Since then zipped do not work for me. There could be upgrade changes coincident with my archiver.

After emailing with Markus the problem has been solved. The upload limit was set to 16MB which was not enough for my certificate. He raised the limit and now it is working again.

I was even able to upload the certificate for the still record ECPP number. It will take a while to process though

Excellent! I'll see if that solved my problem with zips later on.

And Great Job! on that "barely under" 35k certificate!

You've been busy...

There must have been an update to factordb‘s hardware. The certificate was verified within a few hours where I expected several days.

I noticed that, too. I wondered if it might have been a priority issue since Markus added it to the db instead of it coming through an upload.

I've been playing elsewhere lately, so I haven't generated any larger certificates in a while.

The really big one came through upload.

Oh, OK. Glad to hear things are working now. I'm not sure when I'll do some more. It may be a little while.

It looks like this has been brought up before, but on the help page, the definition(and spelling) of "primordial" is incorrect.

I would suggest this to be replaced with:

Quote:

# Primorial (product of all primes less than or equal to n, postfix)

Also I noticed some other threads about confusion with ambiguous interpretation when there are more than two consecutive "#" in an expression. It appears that ## takes precedence over #
So for example: 3### == (3##)# (instead of (3#)## )
Just a suggestion that it could be helpful to at least specify the operator precedence somewhere.

The display of probably primes, http://factordb.com/listtype.php?t=1 is broken if you ask for PRPs below 100 digits. The distribution of probable primes, &ls;= 3000 digits, http://factordb.com/stat_1.php?prp shows 2 such which I can't display.

Also the status page, http://factordb.com/status.php usually doesn't show the smallest PRP, probably due to the same problem.
