Agreed, you can always run the download again (and again, and again). But the real problem is when you're away from your computer or travelling and can't run it again. Not to mention the application is endlessly stuck on old downloads and may not even be able to try the next day's editions. I only allow 3 processes at a time in calibre; my PC is pretty fast, solid state with 80-90mb wifi download speed, 16gb RAM, but it's only Intel i3 (10th gen), dual core, 4 threads; so I can't afford to get all the calibre processes stuck. And, no, Kovid's comment notwithstanding, the timeouts don't seem to be working in these recipes or on these websites. Don't know why.
But creating custom recipes that omit all the images (for the NYT and WSJ) seems to have solved the problem for me. It's quicker, and I think possibly avoids traffic jams on what are likely very large and busy sites.
(Never have this problem on other sites, eg The Economist, The Spectator, Atlantic.com; all of which are much larger downloads).
