I just thought of a potential everybody-wins solution: add an "ffdl_last_modified" optional date metadata that users can configure FFDL to populate (along the lines of the FFDL error column). That way you can have it update only when FFDL actually modifies the story, in a way that you can configure however you think is optimal for fanfic downloading (for example, you might want to have it only change the date if the *text* of the story changes, ignoring any other metadata updates).
