They’re returning an error page or some other non-NZB content when they should be returning an NZB. If they’re trying to reject the download because you’ve reached your grab limit for the day then they need to return an HTTP Status Code that indicates that instead of other content, though this could be a case of a server error that returns something unexpected. In any case this is an issue with the indexer, not Sonarr.
