Welcome to Usenet.
Incomplete posts are a fact of life and so are partially complete NZB files.
Try to find a more complete NZB.
Try to get them from a reputable site line nzbmatrix.org
If you use something like binsearch.info: check the file overview for completeness.

Follow the advise I gave you.
You need to develop an intuition about which NZBs are reliable.
BTW: we are working on something called a pre-check which attempts to
verify existence of articles on a Usenet server before downloading.
This is a) not very fast and b) still relies on accuracy of the NZB.
