on December 13, 2004, setting a new GNFS record. On December 30 the project
extended its list of more-wanted composites to 180 numbers "to provide wider
choice for ECM and GNFS tasks." No more numbers will be added until 2006.
- version 2.5.6 of the ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-math.html#ECMNET )
ECMNET client is available for all platforms as January 3. The client is

of all of the range input files. The web page which provided individual
