I have never had any previous problems with seti. help please ...

A batch of workunits was sent out that had a problem with the header information. It seems that you have been allotted one of these. These will take a long time to process but will eventually complete.

Take a look at this thread.....Work Unit Problem

The answer here is not to wait. There will probably be a ZERO credit claim or awarded, which seems to be a true reflection on the useful work done. The solution if a task remains stuck at a very low percentage. Go to the tasks page of BOINC Manager and select the task, click on the abort button. The percentage will shoot up to 100% and the task will be flagged "aborted by user". With this time waster removed, you should straight away get a replacement task downloaded. Or, in your case, you can resume those tasks you have previously suspended.
