The Program Seems to Start from Scratch Each Time I Load it - Page 2

I think Jackmama was getting confused in that the program did P-1 stage 1 to 100% and then went back to 0%. Then it did P-1 S-2 from 0 to 100 and then went back to 0% and now it is doing LL testing. Don't worry, the program was just running through two preliminary phases - known as P-1 testing stage 1 and 2. Now it has started the actual test (the LL test) of which it has completed 0.74% or whatever your computer says.
It seems to be doing just fine.

Another thing that is confusing is that (IIRC) when you stop and restart a P-1 test, it will always say "Starting P-1...", and not "Resuming..." like it does for an LL test.

also, outlander, Double Checks are still running p-1 tests (most of the time) because they didn't go through a factoring stage the first time through. Pretty soon, though, we'll hit the limit where all exponents (on boxes with ample memory) will be factored the first time around. I think that'll be around 14M?
