For the first time, as far as I know, there are 13 Universe tasks in the Transfers tab in BOINC Manager. I've never seen this before. They've been shown as "Uploading" for several days.

Also, what's the difference between Validation Pending and Validation inconclusive?

For the first time, as far as I know, there are 13 Universe tasks in the Transfers tab in BOINC Manager. I've never seen this before. They've been shown as "Uploading" for several days.

See the sever thread.
Basically you'll need to keep hitting "Retry pending transfers" to get them to finally go through.

Also, what's the difference between Validation Pending and Validation inconclusive?

They are exactly what they say there are
Validation Pending means just that- it's pending Validation, usually waiting on the other copy of the Task to be returned so the results can be compared. Sometimes it can be due to issues with the servers if the validators are having problems.
Validation Inconclusive means just that- the results have been compared, but they don't match, so the final result is Inconclusive. But neither of them is an out & out error either. Usually another copy of the Task will be sent out to get another result back to compare to the original two results to decide which of them is the correct result.
