But I assume you'd have to update Calibre to pull in the updated recipe? Easier (if you aren't in the mood to update everything) to just get the recipe update (which I installed and it works great, btw!)

No you do not have to update calibre to get updated recipes, they are updated automatically within calibre.

Solved.

I closed Calibre and restarted and went to English and chose Scientific American anew. It did the correct downloading. |

In all versions, including portable (which is what I use: Portable 6.14.1)? Does something display to let me know a recipe has been updated? I ask because the Scientific American recipe had stopped working correctly and only worked properly again after I used "edit built-in recipe" and pasted in the updated recipe code.

I am diligent about updates, have Calibre set to inform me whenever new update is available and do it immediately.
I was up to date when Sci Am failed - the error continued until I deleted it from the Selected group, closed down and restarted. I conclude that the repaired recipe had already been downloaded but somehow the old instructions were being followed until the entry in Selected was removed. I wish to add great gratitude for this public domain gift of creative genius, I am in far outback Australia and access to up-to-date information is unavailable without time consuming travel to inferior public library sources |

No recipes are downloaded every time you run them, the first step in downloading a news source is to downlaod the recipe, then the downloaded recipe is used to download the actual content, there is no updated cache of recipes. About the only way I can think of for this process to fail is if downloading the recipes is failing or if you are using a custom recipe built from the builtin one.
