Part files are filling up the Hard disk

Hello,

When the clients are sending the parts, the server is merging them into a savework file, however all the temp parts are there forever filling up the HDD, is there any option to autodelete the parts when they are merged ?

Can we trigger the merger more often?

Puzzle 130

I do not fully understand how the server part works, I would be very grateful for clarifications.
I have a server with a puzzle range of 130, users connect to it at xxx.xxx.xxx:8000. The question becomes, does the server automatically allocate search ranges? And how can I track progress on the server? to understand how much more I can connect players with a certain power. Etar, I will be very grateful for the detailed answer.

Explain meanings

Can you explain these terms:

DP count1 :
Time count1: 2d 14h 13m 17s
DP count2 : 1259038
Time count2: 19d 10h 7m 6s
Skiped DPs during merging: 223347
Total time: 22d 0h 20m 23s

In total, the server and clients work no more than 6 days, and the data shows about 2 days, 19 days and 22 days. The dates that the server shows are incorrect or I didn’t understand something?
