Automatic retries

Marts · 11-16-2010, 05:19 AM

Hi,

I have Calibre set up to run at 6 am download the Guardian and a few other feeds (kotaku, giant bomb rss and 1up.com rss) and then email to my free kindle account to read on my morning commute.

It generally works really well, however I have been having a few problems;

If one of the feeds fails, it seems to block the others, so if the first one fails, I get nothing, if the 2nd one fails, I only get the 1st etc.
There doesn't seem to be any way to auto retry - for instance, if the email step fails due to, e.g. a network error (as happened this morning), then it doesn't resend unless I manually intervene.

Am I missing some settings and/or is there anything that can be done to make the new fetching a little more tolerant of failures.

Thanks for all the great work so far, this program really makes it worth owning a Kindle.

M.

Regarding 1, the remaining scheduled downloads do not happen at all?
