There are several options available on every download/update: - Output Format
- Update Mode
- Update Calibre Metadata
- Update EPUB Cover
- Background Metadata (updates only)

1. Output - Never change. Epub, Calibre can convert to whatever I want and I find having a standardized epub makes it easy.
2. Update mode. Occasionally change, not often, but enough that it's useful to have it there.
3. Update Calibre Metadata - Never change. Honestly, while I know there might be reasons NOT to updated Metadata, I can't think of any myself. I'm a bit of a digital horder and I like to have all that data updated.
4. Update Epub Cover - Never change it. It's checked, but I barely notice it on fanfics, I never cover browse them, just go directly to the book jacket on my kindle/kobo.
5. Background Metadata - ... Actually had to go find the option and read the description so I knew what it was. It's checked and never touched. I dont understand why there's an option there, but in my personal experience I check 'failed' downloads and always find out why, then fix it, so the option isn't something I'll probably ever change.
