it does not work.
By firing "from scratch" on a clean script for the scope --keyspace 01000000000000000: 01FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF --share 41/160, the estimated time is 1.75 months. Using the --continue file which contains the starting point at half of what I initially set (just: in a situation where 50% of the range has already been scanned) - the counter gives 1.75 months. This is not something here .... since I've scanned 50% ... it can not be that it will take as long as it will last as if I started scanning from now on again The -r option can not be used because it does not work with "- -continue "and not using this option at this level is probably a waste of time.
