Calibre ends up freezing somewhere during this step of the updating and when I try to retrieve it "Windows Explorer" gives me the error message that Calibre will now be closing. Calibre hasn't been able to successfully finish updating the stories I select (As I mentioned I have tried different size bunches from the collection) ever since I was able to get rid of the earlier error.

If you just leave it alone for several minutes does it eventually finish?
To prevent throttling on ffnet, the sleep time between requests was significantly increased version before the last. Long enough that calibre was entering the 'not responding' state according to windows.
The last version included code to reduce those sleep times for small update sets.

Instead, I highly recommend that you 'follow' stories and use the site's email notifications to inform you about updates and then update those specific stories. I also recommend using Update EPUB, not Overwrite, unless you have reason to believe that a particular story has changes in previous chapters.

* The original post said thousands.
Throttling by ffnet is no longer a theory, but an established fact.
