Is there some sort of functionality in FFF that allows for a limited number of retries for failed chapter downloads? I've had several failed downloads that have occurred without any clear pattern due to some websocket issue that causes one chapter to fail out of the entire story. While an immediate retry successfully downloads the full thing, it'd be nice if you could tell FFF to retry the chapter download after a brief pause to not require fully querying the entire story again.

Additionally, it'd also be nice if there was some sort of option to only download new chapters rather than the whole fic especially given the restrictions with FF.net. I just attempted a download of a story with 305 chapters using the default sleep time settings (total download time was 1+ hours) and apparently it was enough to trigger the Cloudflare Lvl 2 challenge, preventing the final three chapters from being retrieved.

Edit: Apparently the triggering of the level 2 challenge may have been unrelated to my download, given booster-t's reply above?

Edit 2: Ignore my requests, apparently this functionality is already in FFF under a specific update mode and I somehow misunderstood the modes even after reading through the wiki.
