This is actually a feature request addressed to Kovid

I think that it would be great to have the ability to allow the users to choose their preferences regarding fetching feeds from calibre GUI.
The simple thing would be to optionally expose variables like

Code:

max_articles_per_feed

and

Code:

oldest_article

BTW, couldn't the oldest_article be binded to downloading schedule, so that user would get only content that was not downloaded previously?

And the completely awesome thing would be if the user could choose feeds he likes to have downloaded from amongst the feeds supported in recipe. This would save time, disk space and bandwidth.
I find it rather common situation when there are pages having bundle of feeds related to given geographic locations, different people's blog entries, and so on, and the reader is interested in content of few (or even one) feeds out of many.
