NZBGet Status Checker

This skill provides quick access to NZBGet download status and queue information. Required env vars: NZBGET_USER, NZBGET_PASS, NZBGET_HOST

Usage

Quick Count

Get a simple count of active downloads:

bash scripts/check_nzbget.sh count

Returns: 3 (number of items downloading)

Full Status Report

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.

• If NZBGet is unreachable or no items downloading, say so clearly
• Keep responses concise unless user asks for full details
