Debugging intermittent failures, how to?

Dear all,

I am trying to debug intermittent failures with download and conversion of Globe&Mail articles. About ~5% or so of articles end up with missing text and I am at loss to understand a root cause. I cannot reproduce the problem with --test, yet on a full paper download I always end up with a couple of empty articles.

Is there a way/setting/option to download and preserve all source unprocessed html files when using a class derived from BasicNewsRecipe and then just to rerun processing on pre-downloaded files? This would hopefully allow me to understand if it's a download or processing issue and ease the debugging.

Thanks guys!
