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 "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
