Let me suggest an alternative...
Calibre already lets me choose how often to download news sources, so it must be remembering when it last tried.
I want a button in addition to "download all scheduled" that is something like "download overdue" that retries sources that failed or never tried but the time to download has passed.
I guess you'd have to store last successful download time in addition to last attempt...
Also, it would be nice if the failure detection was better. When every URL in a source fails to download, it would be nice if it flagged the download as failed instead of generating a epub full of "failed..." pages..
Use case: I've had my ISP fail a few times and I have the choice of either closing calibre or watching it generate a bunch of dud epubs.
