Instead, enable mail notifications for the stories you're following, and then you may choose the "Get story URLs from Email" menu in FFF.

It's much easier for everyone involved: you, the sites, and the plugin author who won't have to find yet another trick around the newest bot deterrent.

Okay let me put some context I'm not massively updating, over the span of a week i have only updated 60 stories. but I was wondering is if there was a way I could set it up on the schedule So that I can spread out my update over the course of days To go easy on the web servers I already know this is strongly discouraged but that's why I'm looking for options on how to update my library without putting strain or hassle on the servers.
