Einstein@home --> hanging jobs

Not sure if I understand the problem but if you mean that the tasks reach 100% done but keep on running that's normal for many tasks here at Einstein@home. Some tasks can take up to a hour or so before they actually complete. Just have patience and let them run.

I took a quick look at your completed tasks and there are no invalids and only two errors, tasks that were aborted. All other tasks have completed fine and been awarded credit.
The aborted tasks were Gamma-ray pulsar search tasks and they are known to only report progress in big steps and those steps are far apart. Other Gamma-ray tasks have completed normal so once again just have patience and let them run and they should complete normally.

If the problem is something else then try to give us some more info and we will try and help you.

You are thinking too literal, the 100% number is a 'best guess' not a hard finite number, as Holmis said the units often go longer after the 100% shows up.
