Phew, a new record. 3 1/2 hours to round trip this mail list. Is it just this project, or has the whole net gone to heck this past weekend? Our local corporate computer security czar was busy today filling up his message board with postings of hackers this week attacking Japan, The Well, and va

Guido Stolz's statistics for Primenet (but not for GIMPS) are also empty. If the server is going to be gone for a long time, we probably should back off our retry timers to only retry every 5 hours or so. That way, we won't increase traffic for entropia.com until this is straightened out. Hopef

ANYone who's running a primenet client should immediately go into the menus, Options / Preferences, and set the "Minutes between network retries" to about 30 or 60. With the 10's of 1000's of clients out here now, and with the server offline for over a day now, we probably have 5000 clients all t
