Hi, I'm sieving for "Sierpinskie/Riesel base 5".
I have the following Question:

at the moment we are sieving for

Code:
184 <= n <= 2000000
According to the stats-page

the lowest n for an active test is
for riesel: 289605
and for sierpinski: 328596.
So if we start sieving in a Range
Code:
250000 <= n <= 2000000
we could save some time finding factors. Is it possible to change the range? or is this a bad idea? And how can I manage this?

I asked this question in the Project-Forum, but i didn't get a Message, so maybe someone in this Project Forum can help me.
