How long is this task supposed to run? It's been running 6 hours on a GTX 1080 already.

ps_190110_input_96321_1_8

The estimated time remaining went to 00:00:00 at least three hours ago.

That task name has ending " _8 " which tells your computer is already eighth computer trying to run that task. So it's just pile of crap, a faulty work unit that's going to have status "Too many errors (may have bug)". You should abort that task. I'm quite sure normal run time with GTX 1080 should be way under half an hour.

is it normal that Theory task takes > 3 days on an average computer?

Note sure, you will have to ask in the LHC@home forums as this is asteroids@home.
