Hi Benny... My system behaved in the same way as yours after I installed "Zone Alarm", a freeware firewall, on my system. I had failed to configure the firewall to allow prime95 through, and had failed to configure it to pop up a notice of the denied attempt. So, perhaps you installed a fir

Mersenne: What Happens Once A Factor Has Been Reported?

Once a factor has been logged for an M-candidate, either by P-1 or by "the other" method, what M-happens? Is a different sort of double-checking automatically done? I've forgotten what GIMPS or PrimeNet do in this regard, but all Mersenne factors sent to me - and George Woltman and sev

Mersenne: Common practice for P-1 math?

2000-06-14 Thread Will Edgington
I was wondering if it was common practice (ie: the norm) for P-1 to take the product of two or more factors when giving out a found factor, if two of more factors are found? Yes, if both factors are "smooth" enough, they could be found as their product, rather than individually. "Smo
