Downloading and importing is where *most* people experience issues. From a high level perspective, Sonarr 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.
Start by using the [[Logging and Log Files]] article to turn logging up to trace, it is likely you're going to need to look at them to figure out what is wrong. And if you can't, anyone you ask for help will need to see them for sure. Remember to get them from the actual log file, put them in a pastebin and show us context around what we need to see. Nobody wants to dig through the whole trace log (it is huge!), but just a line or two is unlikely to help.

# Testing the Download Client
Start by testing the download client, if it doesn't work you'll be able to see details in the trace level logs. You should find a URL you can put into your browser and see if it works. It could be a connection problem, which could indicate a wrong ip, hostname, port or even a firewall blocking access. It might be obvious, like an authentication problem where you've gotten the username, password or apikey wrong.
