NZBs not working

[ploopsy]

I just started experimenting with usenet. Im am using SABnzbd+, some sites nzbs seems to work while others dont. nzbs.org has nzbs that work with SABnzbd, grabit and nzb o matic. While other nzbs (like the ones i generate here) do not seem to work with any of those clients.

here are the messages that i get from sabnzbd.

2009-08-24 18:36:47,905 WARNING [nzbstuff] Incorrect NZB file 1251152473.nzb (trying anyway)

what am i doing wrong? im sure the nzbs are fine and i am missing a critical step with the "generated" nzbs.

Thanks for all the help.

Are you just clicking on create nzb that's all i do and it works for me.

[ploopsy]

yes, i click the create nzb button and save it in the same directory that i save all the others in. still nothing.

sites that offer me a download without the option to create and nzb seem to work fine.

can it be my web browser? its firefox, if that helps.

Then you have sabnzbd+ open and go to add file and browse to the file right.

What file are you trying to get i will try myself

no go...same error. I cant find the option to manually add the file.

[mr.Dman]

Dam it's working for me.

Are you downloading the file to your downloads folder right

I use firefox myself to download the files but IE to run Sabnzbd+

[ploopsy]

UPDATE: Found the manual add file menu, still no go :-(, i will change browsers and let you know if it works.

ANOTHER UPDATE: i downloaded some nzbs with a non firefox browser and they work!!! firefox kicks ass and i really want to fix so that it cooperates. any ideas?

[mr.Dman]

That's odd I use firefox to download the files but I use IE 8 to start the files.
But I am sure firefox will work also

[ploopsy]

it might be a plugin/ass on that i am running... i will make a firefox specific post if i cannot figure it out on my own.

Thanks for helping me out :-)

One quick thing download a nzb.zip file and see if that helps you don't need to unzip just upload file to sabznbd and try it that way
