Yeah, if the Kindle web browser fails to download a file, the partially downloaded file may still exists in the documents folder of the Kindle. If you try to download a file that has the same name of a file already in the documents folder the browser complains.
The Kindle e-book reader application home screen does not display files that it doesn't recognize as ebooks. I'm guessing that an incomplete file doesn't look like an ebook to the Kindle, so it doesn't display the file in the home screen.
If you connect your Kindle to your computer and look in the documents folder I think there may be an incomplete copy of the file that was causing you problems.
Also, the free web access that Amazon provides does cost Amazon real money for each megabyte transferred over Sprint or AT&T's network. AFAIK, Amazon hasn't set a limit on how much 3G goodness each Kindle is allowed to use, but it's a sure bet that if Amazon sees the wireless bill increase beyond some comfortable threshold the free web access will be taken away.
One other cool feature of Calibre is that it can be setup to e-mail each periodical (news feeds) you want to your kindle e-mail account. This will automatically allow Calibre to deliver a periodical each morning just like Amazon's own newspaper subscription. However, Amazon does charge 15 cents per megabyte for data sent through this service.
