    Free-DC Prime Search: How to get started

    Free-DC Prime Search Care package for Windows/Vista 32 and 64 bit systems.

    Client Download: http://fdcps.dynv6.net/files/llrnet-freedc.zip

    To reduce file size, there is only one llrnet.exe file - if you follow the directions, it will install a copy to each folder/core you need.

    _Read_Me_1st.txt says

    Free-DC Prime Search Setup files.

    Assuming you have all the files extracted to one location,
    you should see one directory for each client, for a max of 8 cores.

    LLRNET1
    LLRNET2
    LLRNET3
    LLRNET4
    LLRNET5
    LLRNET6
    LLRNET7
    LLRNET8

    If you want to run with all 8 cores, don't delete any directories.

    If you only want to run with 2 cores, then delete LLRNET3 through LLRNET8 first.
    If you only want to run with 4 cores, then delete LLRNET5 through LLRNET8 first.

    Once you have chosen how many cores you want to run it on by deleting the ones you don't,

    You need to personalize your llr-clientconfig.txt in each directory and change
    username = "IronBits" to your name ( otherwise I'll get credit for all your hard work! )
    username = "YourName" and save it - do this for each core you are going to be running.


    Once you have completed editing your name in each llr-clientconfig.txt for each core,
    you are now you are ready to finish the setup.
    ----------------------------------------------

    Run Install_LLRnet.bat (once)

    ----------------------------------------
    What each .bat file is and does for you:

    Install_LLRnet.bat Will install llrnet.exe from LLRNET1 directory to each core you want to run.

    32-bit Windows/Vista
    Start_LLRnet_2_32bit.bat Start 2 cores with a 32bit Windows Operating System
    Start_LLRnet_4_32bit.bat Start 4 cores with a 32bit Windows Operating System
    Start_LLRnet_8_32bit.bat Start 8 cores with a 32bit Windows Operating System

    64-bit Windows/Vista
    Start_LLRnet_2_64bit.bat Start 2 cores with a 64bit Windows Operating System (sets AFFINITY)
    Start_LLRnet_4_64bit.bat Start 4 cores with a 64bit Windows Operating System (sets AFFINITY)
    Start_LLRnet_8_64bit.bat Start 8 cores with a 64bit Windows Operating System (sets AFFINITY)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Check to see which Operating System you are using and how many cores you are going to run, and
    double click on the correct bat file and away you go.
    (you can remove the other Start_LLRnet_?_??bit.bat files to help clean it up if you like)

    If you ever run into trouble and just want to start over, then run Clean_Up.bat
    It will remove old left over data files from previous runs.

    We probably need to make a client available for download. Maybe one that is pre-configured to connect our server. I would perfer one that has had all the server portion stripped out.

    I'm thinking that somewhere I saw some scripts to help install and/or launch the client for multiple core machines?

    There are quite a few scripts floating around, a lot of them written by IB.

    We are good to go! Everyone just needs to create a new personal prover code when you find a prime. Be sure to credit llr, srsieve and our project.

    How do we add Prover code L860 to show up along side the others I have listed to choose from?
    I'll put together a care package for downloading so they only need to edit the username = line

    below the listed proof programs is a box to list others. just type in "srsieve, 1820" without the quotes. 1820 is our projects database ID.
