I am trying to connect my connect my radarr and Sonarr to my download client. When I put in the host: localhost it is unable to connect to the localhost. I been searching and searching and can't find any viable answers.

Despite being called rTorrent in the settings, radarr/sonarr are actually expecting to connect to a web server with a SCGI backend that will translate requests for rTorrent. If that sounds complicated to get working, don't worry, it's the same setup that ruTorrent uses, so there are plenty of guides around that can be followed. If you already have ruTorrent set up, just point radarr/sonarr to whatever address/port it's running on.
