I think 5:06:13 means 5 hours, 6 minutes and 13 seconds. 500 solves in 306 seconds is nigh on impossible.

What's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit?

I've seen many reviews on many cubes and the reviewers are saying that "this cube is suitable for my turning style".What is turning style?

the style which you turn the cube

I don't understand your answer.'The style'??

Your way of turning a cube, e.g. fingertricks and turn accuracy

Short answer: depends on your operating system and CPU: do you have a 32 bit or a 64 bit version?

I don't know. How can I tell if I have 32- or 64-bit?
I tried downloading the 64-bit+32-bit combined, and I get the same error message when trying to download kSolve.

Open start menu (assuming youre on windows), right click computer and choose properties. It will show what OS you're running.

That gave me 32-bit, so I downloaded Total Commander for 32-bit but I still couldn't open kSolve.
I just tried 7zip, and although I could extract the files I still can't open kSolve. It opened a window for a very short time, then closed it again. This is all I could get:
Usually everything else in the window is a black background, but I couldn't get that in a screenshot as it closed too quickly.

I don't think it's a great idea to be honest. Settling into one-looking with CLL makes using EG1 sooo much easier, so basically I'd recommend giving yourself at least a month of hardcore CLL practice (learn from multiple angles, learn how to predict auf and learn to one-look for up to 5 move fl). Having said that, you'll probably be just as fast if you learn it now, and you can always drill your CLLs and practice whilst learning EG1.
Go for it!

Thanks for the advice!
I don't think I will start learning quite yet. I have a comp in two weeks (which I somehow forgot while writing that), so maybe after that. Also, I don't think I will be learning algs from multiple angles, because I'm not trying to be reallyreally fast, just a decent speed. I can already 1-look most 3 move layers, but anything with R2F2R2 is pretty much impossible to 1-look for me right now. I can predict AUF on maybe 10-20 cases, is there any good method to predict AUF for all cases, or should I study each case separately and find what suits me?

That's fair. Chris has a video on predicting AUF but I found it weird the way he does it...it obviously works for him though! So I think just finding what works for you will best.
Try learning anti-CLL, 2 weeks is plenty of time to implement it, you don't need to learn any new algs, there are more one-look opportunities and there is no need to use R2 F2 R2 when doing the first layer.
Btw if/when you do start to learn EG1 I have some pretty good algs so just pm me if you need any.

Thanks! I will definitely PM you when I start learning
Is Cameron's tutorial the best for AntiCLL?

Yes.

What were the good splits for 3x3? The ones compared to the WR?
Kind of a wide question but here goes;
I'm averaging around 7 seconds on LL (incl. reaction times) and can sub2 only like 2 PLLs. I am sub 20 so and I was wondering if this was normal; I've definitely been focusing the most on F2L and crosses lately. What should I do next? Focus more on F2L (I know one can never be too good at this), drill PLLs or learn full OLL perhaps? I average around 5.5s on LL if I know the OLL case (and I know already around 30).

Right so 21,5% is PLL meaning that a 15 second solve should have a 3.2 second PLL (incl. recognition). I guess people are too fast at PLL in general rather than me being relatively slow at it. I guess I'll work on my cross to 1 pair transition more and on my look ahead.

Did you even read the file "readme.txt"?
It says:
You can run ksolve+ from the command line, using a command like this:
ksolve puzzle.def scramble.txt
Which means you have to run it from a command line and type a command like:
ksolve puzzle.def scramble.txt
(Double click on the exe is not enough, beause the sofware uses parmeters!)
And by the way, that message tells exactly the same thing.
(Do you know how to use command line?)
Edit:
Plus: The window only appears for a brief moment because Windows shoot it down immediately, since the program finished its run. If you use command line, even if the software has an error and closes, the message won't disappear.
