regedit isn't for all users.
Nope definately not for all users. That might be a good reason to use ini files instead of the registry (although reg files are much easier if you know how it works ). Not everybody has rights to add a key to the registry when installing the program.
I just looked in the log file, the client tries to report the result 5 times with 5 minutes interval. (do we really need a line in the log every second?) but after that never tries again. I think this is a serious problem and should be fixed in a future client. It should be reported when it gets the next test.

Guess i miscalculation by me, i thought we would need about 8000 test to reach 3M, guess this will be around 7600 then.

Don't forget things will slow down a little when the numbers get larger. Not sure if this compensates the increment of users. If one of the remaining numbers is prime it will be the 4th or 5th largest known. When we go to the next K test will take only a few hours. I think this is a time to attract some new users. Many people don't want to wait days for a test is done (this is why i'm not running the GIMPS client anymore, at least not for LL testing)

they always seem to get assigned to the wrong folks and never get done.
I have one of them. Don't worry, it should be completed in 9 hours. Hmm, now i think of it, probably a few hours longer coz i'm thinking about transfering it to another computer coz i'm not able to contact the server at the moment (problem on my side)
