The same thing is happening to me as well. I use Unison for the Mac.

What specific NZB's are you guys having problems with? Links to them would be great. :)

I have had these problems with them for months, but a specific one I can think of are the Chappelle Show season 3 NBZs.

Odd... those NZB's I posted are tested before I even upload them, they should work. Would it be possible for you to test an alternative program besides Unison? This way you could tell if it's the program or the NZB itself.

allroad what newsreader are you using? Have you tried using another just to see if it would work then?

I got the problem from time to time. Even NZB files I upload myself is messed up somehow when I download them from the forum.

The Amiga Tribute II thingie is the problem now.

Tried to download it in Explorer an Firefox but the same "07/13/2006 15:24:16 MODULE=XML_Read, MSG=Bad XML Line: 1, Column: 0" error in Newsbin everytime. Grabit also fails to load the file. Grabbing it from Binsearch works for all the files when I try there.

I did not have the issue before the last rework was done but I dunno if it has anything t do with it.

I got several newsbin and grabit version to try with. Windows reinstall was done but same issue afterwards....

Everything worked before the site went wonky a while back. Now everyone I grab isn't working. I also tried iGrabNews and they didn't work. The NBZs i get of of binsearch.info all work fine. That is how I got the Chappelle show. I wonder what it could be. I just tried to grab that Blade episode 3 and in Unison it says the error is "Line 1: Encountered unexpected character 0x78 ('x') at top level". In iGrab nothing happens at all. So I am thinking it must be the NBZs.

It says that for every NBZ I grab of this site. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Cant duplicate the issue as all seems fine to me and as far as I know nothing is added.
Maybe comparing an nzb form binsearch to here might be the clue...

First line from working file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

First line from non-working file:
xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"

Just looked at the info you sent me and see the same thing with the tags on the first line being removed that are most likely creating the issue for some members. When rossco is online he can take a look at the script and adjust this as it should be simple from the looks of it...

Hopefully that's all there is to it. Thank you for looking into it.

OK I'll fix that now, thanks multiforce for pointing that out!

I was removing the <? to be safe if people upload PHP files, but I didn't realize XML uses that tag too
