          {% if states.sensor.nzbget_speed.state | float < 0}
          Yes the server is downloading.

You’re missing the percent characters at the end of the jinja.
{% if states.sensor.nzbget_speed.state | float < 0 %}
Just copy and paste the whole template in Dev Tools/templates and you will see what you get.

And you need to indent the stuff under data_template :

download:
  alias: 'Nzbget Download'
  sequence:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data_template:
        entity_id: media_player.main_gh
        message: >
          {% if states.sensor.nzbget_speed.state | float < 0 %}
            Yes the server is downloading.
          {% elif states.sensor.nzbget_speed.state |float = 0 %}
            No nothing is currently downloading.
          {% else %}
            Not quite sure what happened here.
          {% endif %}
