Specific Queries

speed | Speed in MB/s | | What's in queue? | queue | First 10 items only | | Full status | (no args) | Complete report (max 10 items shown) |

Response Guidelines

• - For "count" or "how many": Use the number directly in a conversational response
• For "speed": Report the current download speed
• For full status: Summarize the key info (count, speed, remaining) and list active items
• If NZBGet is unreachable or no items downloading, say so clearly
• Keep responses concise unless user asks for full details
