OOPS! I was thinking you wanted to control the old EPUBs, not the old articles. There is some talk of adding a control for this - keeping track of previously downloaded articles, but it's not yet implemented. I agree it would be useful.
Thanks for quick response! I was afraid I wasn't being clear. Perhaps an example would be easier -- suppose I downloaded the news from the Washington Post on Wednesday at 2:30pm. And then the next day I downloaded the news from the Post 10am.

a) Side question: If I set it to download for the days = 1, does it download everything since Wednesday 12am? Or does days = 2 do that? And is it since 12am, or the current time?

b) What I was hoping to do originally was be able to download everything from Wednesday 12am, lift the value that I last downloaded at 2:30pm, and toss everything from before Wednesday 2:30pm.

Sounds like its on the the to do list though! Awesome work -- now I'm trying to get my 72-year old dad hooked on recipes so he doesn't have to read the news on his laptop.
