    Not sure what's been going on, but I haven't been able to log in to the sieve reservation site for a while. I've been getting a link through a combination of the sieving help thread, OmbooHankVolds help site and the SOB Wiki. Some of those may have the correct link, but my semi-random clicking hasn't managed to get me to the reservation site.

    I haven't tried in a few days, so if it's fixed, sorry.

    Edit: As of now, the link in the Sticky still doesn't seem to want to resolve.

    http://www.sierpinskisieve.com/ is the reservation site. I think some of the links in the sticky need to be updated.

    Noob question. I just finished my first range. done manually with sr2sieve. It found no factors. How do I report a range complete to SoB and PSP with no factors in it to submit?

    Go to the CARS system where you reserved your range.
    Log in
    click on View Your Ranges
    click on Edit Range
    enter 0 for Factors Found
    click on the box after Finished so that a check mark appears
    click on the Save button

    Excellent, much appreciated.

    Does anyone know if there is a marginal benefit to the manual sieve system (using sr2sieve or jjsieve) over the automatic (BOINC)?

    By benefit, I mean speed or accuracy as opposed to the ability to reserve a specific sieve segment.

    Sorry for reacting a bit slow :
    There probably will be a little speed boost (no overhead from the BOINC wrapper), but it will probably be unnoticable, even when you keep track of the exact time a certain range runs... The power of BOINC is in userfriendlyness, and the power of the raw client in versatility. I'm not going to fumble for that last 0.001%, as it's easier to offset the difference by boosting my FSB with 1Mhz

    Thanks. That helps a great deal. The potential time and effort wasted through the manual method I think is less preferred to that of the client handling it automatically if the efficiency is negligable. I'll stick with BOINC.

    using BOINC also means less change of 'hours wasted' becuase you didnt get to a machine to update its range..

    i think manual really only has teh edge for non-networked machines.

    Geoff said that sr2sieve-1.8.11 is faster if there are 4 or fewer sequences, but sr2sieve-1.8.10 is a little faster if there are more than 4 sequences.
