I agree completely with aleyx and JimmXinu. Just using AO3 as an example, it has over a million stories on it. FFN has even more. I do not want a complete cache of those sites. AO3 I'd want maybe 5% of those stories. And of those 5% probably only 1% are incomplete and need to be checked periodically for updates.
This is my method for checking for updates:
I have 3 specific custom columns - Complete(Yes/No), Has URL(Yes/No), and Last Updated(Date).
I have a virtual library based on this search: #complete:no and #address:yes
I then sort based on Last Updated.
Depending on how many stories that produces I either select the latest 250 stories or go back roughly 6 months and then run FFDL.
Once that's complete I may or may not go back further. The oldest stories, some of them years since the last update, I only check every few months, if that.
This system works well for me and it doesn't overtax Calibre or FFDL.
