Hi Vaughan,
I noticed NPLB has started again. I tried to submit work that was already completed but it disconnects.
Are there any new settings I need?
Cheers

Hi Ototero,

A few weeks ago, we completed the 7th Drive (k=800-1001, n=600K-1M), and its server, port 3000, has since been shut down. Since that was the server your clients had been working on, they are unable to submit work because all the work has in fact been finished. (FYI, tests are expired and reassigned if not completed within 48 hours; if a client has been inactive for longer than that, you can safely go ahead and delete workfile.txt in the client directory to clean out the old work so you're not wasting your time finishing running it.)

Even with the 7th Drive completed, the project nonetheless still has plenty of work; in addition to the other ranges we were also working on previously, we're continuing our "classic" k=400-1001 range past n=1M in a series of new drives (13th, 14th, and 15th) which will be officially launched soon to pick up where the 5th, 6th, and 7th left off at n=1M. We have work for the 13th Drive already running in port 9000 (note that this is a PRPnet server, and thus requires a different client than LLRnet port 3000), and LLRnet port 3500 is doing slightly larger candidates in the k=300-400 range. Also, port 8000 is running the k=1400-2000 range with smaller candidates in the n=~750K range.

Hopefully I didn't inundate you with too much information there.

My little old ASUS eeePC is doing some port 8000 tasks, it does about 1 per hour, poor little Celeron.
