    I've added my one spare core, it isn't very fast but better than nothing.

    So I seem myself in the FDCPS page but I'm not listed on the "Free-DC" Team, can someone add me? And will this server e-mail me if I find a prime like it did on the NPLB one that Ironbits was running?

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    It will email you if your boxes find a prime.
    It is a manual task to add you to the Free-DC team and set up email.

    I can do this for you.
    PM me the email addres you would like alerts sent to

    Edit:
    Done

    FDCPS port 7773 is now the sole remaining active port
    At time of posting it has 318,176 untested pairs sieved to depth 1405000000000000:M:1:2:258

    Whilst I'm currently doing about 625 pairs per day it will take me over 500 days at that rate to complete the queue.
    I'm not going to maintain that completion rate.
    I would like it completed sooner.

    So, if you can spare a core, or more, please jump in and LLRnet for some good old fashioned primes.

    Dave,

    I put one machine on this for now.

    Something to think about, the lowest reportable primes on the Top 5000 prime pages are at n=986000, FDCPS is testing in the n=870000 range. Unless some comes along with several hundred machines there is no chance to catch up. If it was me I would drop everything below the Top 5000 trailing edge of reportable primes.

    I am not keen on dumping pairs just because they won't get in the top5000

    maybe 'flip' the sort order so the biggest are done first?

    you'll see the top5000 flag on the right-side of the prime list page - a feature I added a little while ago.
    the server gets the latest min-size from Dr Caldwell's site on a regular basis so the flag is up-to-date for each prime.
    using the filter and sort, you can see how many you have on this site that are still in the top5000.
