NFSNET should attempt a very large sieving portion of a factorization, leaving the linear algebra to the future: just leave the sieving results posted for someone else, with different resources, to tackle.
It may be more data than the project may wish to keep on hand, so some distributed storage system of volunteers is needed. BitTorrent is close, but not exactly what we want: we want to tell bittorrent to please download upto (say) 50GB of this file, and a randomly chosen 50GB, and stop, but keep "seeding" the partial file.
