Returns: 3 (number of items downloading)

Specific Queries

| Query | Command | Output | |-------|---------|--------| | How many downloading? | count | Number only | | Current speed? | speed | Speed in MB/s | | What's in queue? | queue | First 10 items only | | Full status | (no args) | Complete report (max 10 items shown) |

Note: Queue listings are capped at 10 items to avoid flooding with large queues (400+ items). The script shows "Next 10 of X items" when there are more.

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
