## Recommended Sonarr/Radarr Settings
The following settings are recommended 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`
![!Sonarr: Settings => Download Clients](images/sonarr-settings-download-clients.png)
Make sure you check both boxes under `Completed Download Handling` in step 3.
Select NZBGet in step 4 and scroll down to the bottom of the new window where it says `Completed Download Handling` and check both boxes.
