Howdy all. Thank you for reading this. I was wondering if it is normal for more than one task for the same project to show up as "in progress" on my task page? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=9250405

"in progress" on the task page:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5379405&offset=0&show_names=1&state=0

- Only means that your computer have downloaded the tasks
(you see them as "Ready to start" or "Running" or "Waiting to run" or "Ready to report" or .... in BOINC Manager).

Even if your computer is switched OFF for days they will show as "in progress"
- on the web page you (or anybody) can see 1000s of "in progress" tasks.

Example:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5200036&offset=0&show_names=1&state=1

Hello, My laptop needs a break. I want to reduce the number of tasks from
2 to 1 at a time. How?

In your Computing preferences, set

On multiprocessors, use at most 50 % of the processors
Enforced by version 6.1+

You can also use the local preferences (menu Advanced/Preferences...) to achieve that, but then you'll have to use them always, because they override the online ones.

Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz)

SETI@home classic workunits 3,758
SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours

I have a task that is "hung". It has been running for the past 105 hours, but has been showing 97.947% completion for about the last 50 hours, and the time to completion keeps rising. Should I just abort it?
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you tried a reboot of your computer? This sometimes frees a stuck work unit.
