Depending if you're using some NZBGet script here you can change the order or when it should be used


The following settings are recommended to for Sonarr/Radarr, else it could happen that Sonarr/Radarr will miss downloads that are still in the queue/history. Being that Sonarr/Radarr only looks at the last xx amount in the queue/history.

Sonarr

??? example "Sonarr"

`Settings` => `Download Clients`

Make sure you check both boxes under `Completed Download Handling` at step 3.

Select NZBGet at step 4 and scroll down to the bottom of the new window where it says `Completed Download Handling` and check both boxes.
