I add the series, it scanned my directories, found the files I had, and were missing. I check the “Wanted” tab and they are all there. But my download never starts. I am using Sabnzbd, and it is always idle. I just set this up, so clearly I am missing a setting here. Please help, you awesome people you! 
Here is the recent log from Sonarr when it fails the download:

Here also is the pic of the downloader config:
Check the log files to see why the connection to SAB is failing, but its either the host, port or API key (username and password are ignored when API key is used).
Thank you above,
I have corrected login errors.
Also I did not know that SAB did not download torrents, so I had to download uTorrent. I have the Web UI set up, and it is now sending torrents there.
But it is not showing me in Sonarr that it is downloading in the Activity tab. First, is there a setting to have Sonarr “prefer” usenet downloads first, and torrents as a second? Or is there a way to have uTorrent talk to Sonarr so it recognizes it is downloading?
Thanks!!
UPDATE
Okay, scratch that. It seemed to be the listen port that I did not have matching between uTorrent and Sonarr. So they are sharing infos now., Question is still now, can I set to prefer one of the other?
Make sure you are using a label for downloads in uTorrent and the completed download handling is enabled.
Trace logs will show the response for uTorrent and the parsing it does to match it to a download it needs to track.
Settings > Profile > (enable advanced settings) > Delay Profile > add/set the default profile. Check out the question mark icons for guidance on how to set it up.
