Thanks for the explanation! :-)

yeah, I'm already using that and it helps somewhat. some of the quirks I see are

1. the cache just stops working after a few days and FFF outputs a "file not in cache" error (forgot the actual error name) -- solution: clear the cache frequently before accessing the new pages you want FFF to download

2. some epubs (especially new single chapter epubs) *always* get reloaded by FFF even if you have a fresh cache and have access that epub and force-reload etc. -- solution: live with it. it just makes the whole download process a little longer and causes chrome windows to appear in the middle of your work :-)
