There are some other threads discussing this issue, but the answer is no - currently the SB client has no way of being signalled to abandon a test.if a factor is found and a test is currently issued for that N value the nwill the test be aborted?
I am 90% sure it won't be reassigned, but Louie would need to say for sure.If not then will the test be reassigned if the person who is assigned the proth test doesn't finish it or will it then be aborted
I've been thinking about this one recently. Assuming the next.txt file doesn't drop sudenly (as has happened once), then as things stand right now the factor won't score until it enters the double check window (at which point it will receive full score). Clearly this isn't fair, because the factor was useful and did save a test. But with this situation it is difficult to determine when to say for sure that a PRP test has been saved. I am planning to add another magic point which will equate to the 'n upper bound' - if a factor is below this point and has 0 PRP, then it will score full value. This still means it could take >6 months before the factor scores, but that will be a lot better than waiting for it to enter a double check window (which could be never!).Finally (thge point I'm trying otget at) if the test is deleted after someone lets it expire then will the sieve stats show the factor as having saved a test even though the test was still assigned
