NZBs not working

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.
 
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.
 
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+
 
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?
 
I've used Firefox on this site ever since I joined...do you run NoScript and have scripts blocked? Or it could be due to one of your add-ons', but I wouldn't think so, I have like 40 installed :lol:
 
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 :-)
 
Create an NZB.ZIP with firefox, then if it doesn't work upload it here as an attachment so that I can take a look. I might be able to track down what's going on, hopefully.

It was an addon!!! At first I thought it was "AlertStopper" since that prevents those annoying confirm close boxes n the more annoying pop up ads. It turns out that it was "FavLoc" that was messing things up. Favloc gives you a drop down list of your favorite folders on download menus, which is nice when you often save stuff to the same folders all the time.

I use this for folder saving.
