If I select an nzb for download and it contains a sample file, can I zap the other content so I can download only the sample file for viewing to see if I want the whole download?

I suspect not, and that the sample file should be available seperately for downloading/viewing.

Which would make including it in the main bundle a bit silly.

You can remove any file you want, either the main part or the sample part,
as long as you keep a consistent set.
It's a manual task, started by clicking on the job title in SABnzbd's queue.

You must understand that most indexers generate NZB files automatically, based on naming patterns.
This makes it very likely that samples end together with the main goods in a single NZB.

In other words, delete just the rar, r00, etc files, and keep the par files, just in case sample was generated as part of the set?

yes.

Thanks.
