A quick suggestion for Calibre. I frequently find that news downloads get 'stuck' and then time out. This is particularly true for the London Independent, which often needs three restarts to get it downloaded properly. This is probably down to their site, and I'm not asking for a revised recipe, but the process of restarting is a bit tedious, particularly if, like me, you are remote from the Calibre server. You have to go to the jobs page, close the job, close the page, go back to the main screen, click the news dropdown, then click the absolutely tiny dropdown for schedule news, then choose the item, then select download, then close that page, then go to the jobs page again to check. If it hasn't worked, then it must all be done again. This is all on a remote console from a tablet, so it's possible, but not easy.

A very simple solution would be to have a right click menu item, or a button on the jobs page that allows "stop and restart current job". It only takes a few seconds to see if the item has restarted, and the jobs page would not then not need to be closed and re-opened (so could be left open all the time). Might that be possible?

Even better btw, would be an auto restart if the item was not downloaded after the timeout period, but just the manual restart would be awesome.

Many thanks
