Download Clients
Overview
Downloading and importing is where most people experience issues. From a high level perspective, the software needs to be able to communicate with your download client and have access to the files it downloads. There is a large variety of supported download clients and an even bigger variety of setups. This means that while there are some common setups there isn't one right setup and everyone's setup can be a little different. But there are many wrong setups.

Complete Download Handling
Radarr
Completed Download Handling is how Radarr imports media from your download client to your series folders. Many common issues are related to bad Docker paths and/or other Docker permissions issues.

Failed Download Handling
Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr
Failed Download Handling is compatible with SABnzbd and NZBGet.
There are a couple components that make up the failed download handling process:
- Check Downloader:
- Queue - Check your downloader's queue for password-protected (encrypted) releases
- History - Check your downloader's history for failure (eg. not enough to repair, or extraction failed)
- When Radarr finds a failed download it starts processing them and does a few things:
- Adds a failed event to Radarr's history
- Removes the failed download from Download Client to free space and clear downloaded files (optional)
- Starts searching for a replacement file (optional)
- Blacklisting Allows automatic skipping of nzbs when they fail, this means that nzb will not be automatically downloaded by Radarr ever again (You can still force the download via a manual search).
There are 2 advanced options (on 'Download Client' settings page) that control the behavior of failed downloading in Radarr, at this time, they are all on by default.
- Redownload - Controls whether or not Radarr will search for the same file after a failure
- Remove - Whether or not the download should automatically be removed from Download Client when the failure is detected

Remote Path Mapping
Radarr
Remote Path Mapping acts as a dumb find Remote Path and replace with Local Path
This is primarily used for either merged local/remote setups using mergerfs or similar or is used for when the application and download client are not on the same server.
