This message is given for a reason: the joined file size is not what was expected.
Caused by missing parts.
Do these NZBs have par2 files?
Can you email an example of a problematic NZB to bugs at sabnzbd.org ?

[Joy]

Yes  nzb have enough par files and it only 80 days old.Before i never had this kind of issue with Version 0.4.12 and 0.5.0Alpha

I already emailed  one NZB .

hope i will get answer soon.

This is a tricky problem.
The problem is in the par2-tbb utility we use.
It fails to join the files, while par2-classic has no problems.

I don't know yet how to solve this.
SABnzbd could run par2-classic instead, if we had some way
of knowing beforehand that this problem will occur.

If you encounter this problem often, go to the folder
c:\program files\SABnzbd\win\par2
and copy par2-classic.exe to par2.exe (overwriting it).
Should you have a 64bit OS, to the same in the x64 folder.

Thanks for your reply

Im using now Windows 7 32 bit

I'm confused littlebit about this ..or dont understand properly what you mean

c:\program files\SABnzbd\win\par2
and copy par2-classic.exe to par2.exe (overwriting it).

In c:\program files\SABnzbd\win\par2.exe exist but from where i can find par2-classic.exe or i have to renamed it?

The work-around will not solve this particular problem.
There is indeed a bug in par2.exe, but there's more going on.
Due to a logic error in SABnzbd the files of some sets are deleted
by the repair process of other sets.
This is very specific for the kind of stuff you download, otherwise
we would have discovered this sooner.

I found out what's going on. This will be fixed for the next Beta release.
