If I'm not mistaken, Prime95 suggests a B2/B1 ratio of around 20 for B1 values at 1,000,000.

Yup that's always the point...
One could also say, you could have simply taken the number
67607*2^202131+1
and divided it by
3617343986912807923736443
Seriously though, what were your memory requirements like for the stage2 portion. Also time to complete for each stage, a 1:100 ratio for B1:B2 seems a little high but it works.
Are you doing stage two with prime95 have they married the two clients yet.
It was a windows box that wasn't networked and that I would only visit once a week or so. So I wanted to give it a big chunk of work without worrying about it, hence the large bounds.

ECM found a factor in curve #80, stage #2
Sigma=4857056233298550, B1=250000, B2=25000000.
33661*2^5112+1 has a factor: 1462205790618779672559199619
28 digits. 6th smallest n for that k. And it realy is prime this time.

P-1 found a factor in stage #2, B1=70000, B2=822500.
24737*2^11050087+1 has a factor: 594262015630211281
p-1= 2 ^ 4 x 3 x 5 x 11 x 17093 x 54449 x 241861
2^4??
And of course it has to be a composite.
