It appears that for stories that are being updated it's a bad idea to add the Cover image too soon because once the story is complete the cover image is lost and if you try and add it again you lose chapters from the story. I'm not sure if this is a Fanfiction Downloader problem, a Polish Books issue, or Generate Cover problem.

FFDL should only replace your existing cover if you have the "Update EPUB cover when Updating EPUB" option checked when you update it. Otherwise it should leave the cover alone. If you still have problems, please post the URL for a story that you have seen that problem with.
You can also use FFDL to call Generate Cover for stories on download/update.
The lost chapters are caused by Polish Books. It's using the ORIGINAL_EPUB created the last time you polished the book to start from instead of the current EPUB. That's the way it's designed to work--the attached image shows where it says that right on the tin.
Turning on the FFDL "Delete other existing formats" feature will prevent that from happening in future.
