fastnovel.net has started changing the URLs every few days for some reason.

e.g. over the last week I've seen:

https://fastnovel.net/cultivation-chat-group6-29/
https://fastnovel.net/cultivation-chat-group7-29/
https://fastnovel.net/cultivation-chat-group8-29/

There is an automatic redirect in place from the old to the new URL, and FanFicFare is following that. So far so good.

But, while it updates the url in the metadata, it doesn't update all the url's in the chapter files. So what happens is that I run an "update epub" on any of the fastnovel books, and most of the time it will download one or two new chapters... and then suddenly it takes 4h because it's download 2500something chapters again from scratch instead of just updating their URL and loading the new ones.

If I go and edit the epub to update the chapter url stored in the .xhtml files by hand, then the update works and it's just downloading the new chapters.

Any way for FFF to recognize that a redirect on the main page should also be applied to all existing chapters instead of downloading them all from scratch again?
