Early Beta of version 24.11 - Page 5

Peter Nelson · 2005-04-20, 23:22

I have tried the latest files on Windows and Linux. As for my earlier post about the static linux build not producing benmarks of factoring, this new version/build has fixed it and benchmarking works fine.

I notice that on Linux the version in About is 24.11.2 whilst I expected the 2 to change to a 3 or something. Additionally when results go in logfile etc I think the version is only reported as the first two numbers and omit the third. Certainly this is the case in Windows Help About.

Just a suggestion but could you treat the third number as a kind of build/release number (ie it changes every time) and arrange for it to be used at all times?

This would help us know which machines have which of the 3 (so far) released versions of 24.11 and provide proper comparison of benchmarks (since efficiency alters with changes) and help bug reports be attributed to the right build.

As long as we're talking about program improvements, what would be handy for me is a way to specify the path where the 2nd backup file is stored. That way I can keep one on the local drive and one on a network drive, both being constantly updated.

That would be a nice feature. Also, if one hardisk crashes, with the backup in the same directory, everything is still lost.

I'm reporting a small communication issue related to the latest 24.11 beta: when communicating behind a proxy server, I always have Primenet Error 1 as response.

The issue does not arise in the same 24.11 when I communicate without a proxy (i.e. via direct dialup), and is not related to some misconfigured element: the same machine communicates successfully via the same proxy configuration (primenet.ini, and so on) if I only restore version 24.6. I've also tried to regenerate the masked password (just in case) via ProxyMask, to no result.

Did anybody else experience the same behaviour?

Please try putting "SendPortNumber=1" in primenet.ini. Then let me know if that helps or not.

Did as per your recommendation, restarted, now it communicates nicely via proxy - haven't tried yet the dialup (=no proxy), but it's not urgent.

One last small question: I've browsed rapidly the documentation, but I haven't found any reference to this SendPortNumber parameter. Is this intentional?

George, many thanks again for your recommendation.

Tried it here - still getting Primenet Error 1.

Opteron running W2K3 Enterprise x64 Edition build 3790 with SP1.

However - a complete stop and restart (reboot the machine) caused it to work. Thanks to ric for the idea.

SendPortNumber is brand new --- unfortunately.

A user reported that his proxy server did not work because of the ":80" in "http://mersenne.org:80/blahblah" sent by prime95.

So, since the :80 in theory is superfluous, I removed it. But, I added this SendPortNumber ini setting in case some proxy server required the :80.

Alas, we've now proven that some proxy servers require the :80 and some fail with the :80. It's just nuts.

So, I'll make sending the :80 the default (same as all previous versions of prime95) and add a description of SendPortNumber to undoc.txt.

If I add this to the top of my worktodo.ini I get an immediate crash...

Code:

ECM=791,11000000,0,736,0,0,1,0

Right now it is at the end of my worktodo.ini and it hasn't crashed... The status button shows everything okay...
