Where do the NZB files come from?
Do you have "sample" detection on in Config->Switches?

Ignore samples is set to OFF. I have the same settings on my desktop and everything works fine. I think it might be something to do with my netbook. I downloaded the NZB files from nzbeez site.

I'm having this same issue. I'm on the latest version of sab (0.7.9) and sickbeard (alpha build 499) . I've checked the nzb link that sab reports as empty by dowloading it in a web browser and it appears to be fine, also checked the backup nzb file that sab saved the hard drive and it's fine as well. It's happening on multiple releases from my local newznab host. Let me know if you need any extra info or files.

EDIT: Okay, I tried to extract the nzb from the saved sab backup, placed it in my nzb monitored folder and get the same error on the local file.

Code: Select all

Looking at the nzb file it appears the segments section is missing

SABnzbd's is correct when it says that the first NZB is empty, because it is.
There are no files to be downloaded.
The problem is in the source of the NZB.
