Since you are still running BOINC 6.6.20, that are probably ghost units; otherwise I'd say check the "Show active tasks" button. Try a forum search for the term ghost.

by the way, i have only one computer to do this. why?

To do what? How many computers do you have attached to SETI? Did you see the "Show: All computers" link on the page Your computers?

Gruß,

Ghosts are WU that the server thinks it has sent you but you have not received because of communication drop out. This happens sometimes. The problem is usually on the project side. Don't worry about it, nothing you can do about them. When they time out (reach due date) they will be sent to someone else.

In progress are not only the work units being processed by your cpu but add the ones waiting to be processed.
