Can we start this up again?

Can we please attempt to reinvigorate Free-DC's interest in this project?

I intend to attempt to run it when my "commitment" to Find-a-Drug is completed, probably around the 20th, and would like some company in this forum.

NFSNET uses "the Number Field Sieve to find the factors of increasingly large numbers."

jason, why don't you try SOB sieve ? I'm in an especially agreeable mood right now, so I will. The memory requirements of NFSNET are kind of scaring me, to be honest.

The problem here is that everytime you start a new sieve the stats reset.
They could merge all stats. Just posted in the forum asking them why they have separated stats for each number sieved.
