As you may have realised, I'm a noobie here. Sorry for seeming a bit slow on all this.

Essentially, I tried to make changes to the standard Slate (complete) recipe so that I could download it more often, and not always end up with the same articles again and again, ie, I only wanted to get the articles I hadn't already downloaded.

The best I could do was to make a change in the slate_complete = True to False, which makes it weekly, and indeed the final product is smaller. However, it only worked once (26th Sept) and now it fails with the same code as the OP gave.

Starson17, you mention that I should copy Kovid's new recipe and make changes. Where would I find this (or do you mean the one within the Calibre program)?

I have tried a "new" Slate (complete) and this works fine, but I'm still left in the situation that it's DLing the entire site each time. Is there any way I can do something about this, perhaps with regards to the following post:

I'm sure I'm not the only reader of slate with the same desire.
