But no file is created either. Two directories are of the nzb name. But I find no content.

Oh? No pdf? I get that with that download: lc-wallpaper.no.331.2026.pdf

What error?

Because "nesting too deep" is an INFO. And the other messages are DEBUG. Not ERROR

2026-10-16 19:59:39,228::INFO::[newsunpack:323] Unpack nesting too deep

on what platform/OS is SABnzbd running?

See https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/rele ... macOS%2026.

Ouch. You have to solve that first.

Indeed. Docker and Unraid ... steep steep learning curve.

I don't use Unraid, so I can't help with that.

Wow. Really? That's weird.

First check: the downloads that downloaded succesfully ... can you find & access & use them on your host?

It says 1.1GB Free space (temp folder). But after that, it says 1.7Tb free space.


Ah, yes, I think this is the case:

in SAB: Config -> Folders:

Temporary Download Folder -> probably pointing to something inside your docker, with limited space. Not good. See:

Create or assign more disk space to the SABnzbd docker container ...

In the upper right corner of SABnzbd's GUI, you'll will see the "Free Space".

But... when the file is moved to the completed directory, I still get an error.

Oh? Show the logging.

I can wait

No

Point SAB's Incomplete aka Temp to a directory inside the docker. No mapping to outside filesystems.

And what kind of filesystem / drive mapping is /data/usenet/incomplete/ ?

OK ... .NZB received via DM. So I've downloaded it with SABnzbd.

Inspection:
1) no "mkv.fg" in resulting directory
2) no "mkv.fg" in sabnzbd.log (DEBUG on)
3) additional check in sabnzbd.log "File contains": files extensions are .mkv (158x) (but doubles because spread across differnt rar files) en ...

... no .NZB?

Oh? So ... can you discover what the order is?

The SAB code sorts on history1.db's value of "completed". If you dare, you could inspect history1.db (while sab is NOT running): "sqlitebrowser ...
