updating the dat file in the middle of a run

[Silverfish]

Is there any problem with updating the dat file in the middle of a range. What I mean is, can I shut down the proth sieve program, download the new dat file, then start it up again to restart the current range, without any problems?

Shouldn't cause any problems at all.

P.S. Welcome to sieving

and how about updating dat file without stopping proth_sieve???

proth_sieve loads the dat file at startup, so later changes to it won't make a difference...
