I recently had several jobs which should take not longer than 2-3 hours. After some time (2-3h) the remaining time gets longer and longer. After about one day the remaining time goes to 00:00 and the Progress is set to 100% but the Job does not stop.

smaller jobs (for a single CPU) work perfect!

Any idea?

I have same problem now, tasks are 100% with 00:00 remaining time and still running, for 3 days already!

Update:
After suspending tasks and restarting machine, all progress is gone and all tasks start from 0% :(

A few days ago you ran a CMS task that failed with "ERR_NETOPEN":
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=257254416
This often points out overloaded internet lines.
What bandwidth/latency do you get from your ISP?
download:
upload:
ping:

If you use a firewall, did you open all ports mentioned here?

Is your router powerful enough to handle hundreds of open IP connections concurrently?
Very old devices may have not enough RAM to do so.
You may check the manual.

5ms,
94,81 downloading
94,82 uploading with test

According to manual my Asus 1005b has 512kb of memory on board. But there was no problem with hundreds of connection with p2p (AceStream, uTorrent)

Added all ports to the list. But nothing janjed yet.

It is useful to install the extension pack for Virtualbox.
If you have Win 10 pro or Linux, you can see more over the Console-Window of Boinc (Alt+F2,ALT+F3).

The problem should be discussed in the ATLAS specific thread.
Be so kind as to open a new topic there and post a typical stderr.txt.

Regarding your internet connection:
100mbps internet:
5ms,
94,81 downloading
94,82 uploading with test

<envious>
This looks fine.

Network problems might occur if the computer is connected via wi-fi.
If so, a cable based connection may be more stable.
