Custom recipe files are deleted next time starting calibre

The custom recipes that I previously downloaded — usually using a specific url that I edit — disappear from my calibre library after I close and reopen the program. How can I keep them from being removed?

Reset the delete news older than setting at the bottom of the fetch news dialog back to 60 days. And the setting to keep at most issues in the advanced tab

Ok I see, thank you for clarifying.

Another related question:
When I use a custom recipe to retrieve multiple past issues, I can only send one issue at a time to my device. If I try to send a second one, calibre removes the first one while sending the second.

For example, on a single day I retrieve two past issues using the same custom recipe where I change the url in the recipe and download each time. Then I attach my device but can only add one of them.

I suspect it may have something to do with the dates being the same? But I'm not sure. Thanks for any guidance here.

check the filename template for sending to the device, add {id} to it.
