Since I don't know what I cron is, you may be miles ahead of me. But just to relate how I do it:
I've been downloading 5-6 newspapers every morning, for about a year, using the regular Calibre interface, but I don't schedule them. Or, most precisely, I scheduled them for automatic download at the maximum interval (999 days). Before breakfast, I right-click on Fetch News, and select Download All Scheduled News Sources. Maybe this isn't the most efficient way to use the Calibre news feature, but works consistently for me.
