480000-480003 completed, no primes found, results attached.

I'll work on 480004-480010

The LLR side is very lonely right now , so a link to the sieved file has now been added to the bottom of the first post to make it a bit easier to participate in LLR work. You may also notice the completed 480000-4800xx range gradually grow (to 480000-480004, 480000-480005, and so on), even though only the 480000-480003 lresults file has been posted. Don't worry, that isn't a typo; I'm simply holding off posting the lresults files to save space.

Come on, folks, we can't wait forever to start LLRing I know that tpsieve still removes candidates faster than LLR, but the difference between an optimally sieved file and the current file isn't as great as what some of you may think. The 480-485K file contains about 20 million factors now, and when it's optimally sieved, it'll still contain 17-18 million factors, a difference of only 10-15%. Besides, both the n=195000 and the n=333333 projects didn't get to optimal sieve depth until the very last part of the effort, and that didn't stop us from finding record breaking twins
