The rest has something to do with how far you factored it, I belive. The RES64 is the lower-order 64 bits of the remainder after doing the Lucas-Lehmer test (they use this so that they can double check the work later). Onto the next exponent!

The "WW1" is the version number of the test client, the first number (8609006F) is the checksum (I think this is only used when sending in test results manually so that George Woltman can verify that the numbers in the E-Mail are accurate), the second number (2895244) is used for double-checking (I think Mr. Woltman explained it in a past message on the GIMPS mailing list), and the last number (00050000) is actually four numbers: Each pair of digits in the last number is a count of the number of times a specific type of error occurred (I don't know what errors they refer to).
