2009-06-04 21:28:31,079 WARNING [downloader] No active primary servers defined, will not download!
2009-06-04 21:29:00,451 WARNING [interface] API Key missing, please enter the api key from config>general into your 3rd party program:

2. Do you have some third-party utility that tries to communicate with SABnzbd (e.g. nzbStatus)?
