Do these NZBs contain only sample material and did you set "do now download" for samples?

In that case the NZB file is probably really empty.
Can you intercept it?
One option is to set an NZB backup folder in Config->Folders.
It will create a compressed backup of each NZB.

The warning only comes when SABnzbd detects no files to download in the NZB.
If that's due to a problem within SABnzbd, then only an example NZB will be evidence
that I can use to examine the situation.
Also, does the problem go away when you go back to 0.7.7?

Do you have the actual NZB file?
If so, I would like to receive it on [email protected] (please add the URL of this message).

Looks like I'm having the same problem. I tried updating to 0.7.9 but still the same. I'm going to try to uninstall and re-install an earlier version. Here are the two files I just tried:

I bet the issue is still gone when you upgrade again.
