There are several options available on every download/update:
  1. Output Format
  2. Update Mode
  3. Update Calibre Metadata
  4. Update EPUB Cover
  5. Background Metadata (updates only)

Most are self explanatory. 'Update Calibre Metadata' if unchecked, prevents FFF from updating any Calibre metadata--except for the explicit 'Update Calibre Metadata' modes which do anyway.

Which are these settings are actually useful today on every download/update?

Personally, the only one I ever change is Update Mode.

For example, does anyone run with 'Update Calibre Metadata' unchecked? Or change output format on individual downloads?
I occasionally change the Update Mode and check/uncheck the metadata box.
