Is there a tool that picks off small composites constantly?

Yes, to avoid double work and because of missing reservation system you have to put some randomness and fuzzing into which composit you select.
I usually start at 70 digits, skip the next 1000 and from the next 9000 I choose one randomly.

my $rand=1000+int(rand(9000));
$response = $ua->get("http://factordb.com/listtype.php?t=3&mindig=70&perpage=100&start=$rand&download=1");

I'm using a modified vesion of yoyo's perl script and was simply using a random number of 100 in most of my machines, but since I now know of another user with several machines in the area, I'll go back to 300 for now. I do have a couple machines with a low random number tying to ensure the low end (79 dd) gets more checking to keep it clear.

Actually, since I know someone else is working on these, I might slide some of my machines to a different project soon...

I'm using an adapted version of fdb_comp_evaluator which works with remote hosts. So i'm also picking candidates from first 100 composites. Please don't count on my work on these composites as i'm not dedicated to run this in the long.
