Calibre help: multiple downloads

salvidio · 03-27-2012, 08:19 AM

Good morning everybody. I am new to Calibre and I am absolutely null at programming.

I use Calibre to download news from online newsservices and send them to my Kindle.

I have notices that Calibre's news fetching scheduler does allow to download news daily after a certain time. But I would like to fetch them from the same source many times on the same day. Say, after 6 am, then at 12 am, then at 5 pm. etc.

Is there a way to automatize this procedure ? or shall I allways do manually ?
Thanks for reply

The scheduler system does not allow for the scheduling of more than one download a day by times. You can use the interval schedule instead and set it to less than a day. Or you can create multiple custom recipes that are duplicates and schedule them at different times of the day.

Thank you Kovid !

Since you are one of most prolific and successful Calibre programmers, I feel particularly honored, as newbe, that you have answered my question.
