Guys I'm new to this... I was downloading some old files but I stopped and deleted them because I was still testing how the program works and everything. When I re-download the same files, it giving me Empty NZB file error. It doesn't load any more.

I'm running sabnzbd and sickbeard on unraid server.

Help me out...

I'm not sure what you're describing, but sometimes a large .NZB file is scanned before it's done downloading and reported as incomplete in the error log.
If you have a blackhole directory set up, you can reuse the old .NZB that worked when you deleted the files the first time. Otherwise, try downloading the .NZB once more.

when I was downloading .ZNB for file the first time, everything is working ok but then i paused it and deleted the file.(just doing some test)

After I finshed setting it up, I re-downloaded same .ZNB file and it's not downloading the file anymore. It keeps disappearing after reading that .ZNB file and it was showing "empty ZNB file" error. I have no idea what that means

The NZB might actually be empty or just contain garbage.
Download the file and open it with a text editor.
It should start with something like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd">

and end with:

Code: Select all

</segments>
</file>
</nzb>
