Following up on my suggestion to leave both recipes in calibre as built-ins, it occurs to me there may be many parts of the world where issues with the regular NYTimes servers are either not a problem or some people are having success with just tweaking the delay time in the regular recipe.
I've also found that sometimes even with a long delay the downloads stop after a while and you only get a few sections. Maybe some are content to comment out a lot of the sections so they at least get what they really need before the servers start blocking them.
So these people may prefer the direct access if it's working for them.
In my case, especially since I have kept a barely tweaked copy of the original recipe, I may well schedule both. Since the long delay that often works takes a long time, I'd schedule that one an hour earlier than the "wayback" one. Between the two I'd hope to get at least one up to date, useable copy. On days neither works I'd just spend the 99cents to buy that day's Kindle edition from Amazon if I need it.
But "giving up" doesn't seem very helpful. No offense intended. I get your frustration.
