If I could select a hotkey to mark a link unread before I migrate away from it this wouldn't be a problem.

I realise that you've looked at WebSite-Watcher (WSW), so the following may not be news...
In WSW, to toggle a link read/unread, press Ctrl-M.
Another useful feature would be a context menu item or a toolbar button instructs Check&Get to check just my hot sites. This way, I don't have check them all (I have 216 sites that I track) and I don't have to manually select the hot sites from amongst my 20 or so folders.
WSW has a HotSites folder, where you can copy URLs. Just press F9 on the folder and it will check the entire list (though I don't think it does nested subfolders).
Another request is to add the ability to monitor changes to FTP sites. This would be a big time saver, though I realise that it would require that Check@Get have some sort of facility to use my credentials to log-in.
WSW has a login system. Hasty disclaimer,
I have not tried it.Is it possible to have Check&Get ignore parts of web pages for the purposes of reporting sites as changed but still have those changes highlighted, so that when the part of the page that I AM monitoring changes and I am alerted to it, I can see what else has changed as well?
From WSW's Help file;
With a filter you can ignore specific parts of a page to prevent false update notifications.
If a filter is defined, WebSite-Watcher will compare the filtered content of the new version with the filtered content of the old version of a page to detect updates.
Another thing I'd like to be able to modify is when the time cycle begins, so I might set it to check a particular site at 6 am, rather than just specifying how often it is checked. Quite a few of the sites that I monitor return errors and I have to manually reselect them and check for changes. Is it already possbile to set a delay and then have Check&Get automatically recheck them? If not, could this be added? It would be very useful.
Not sure if WSW can do that natively, but it has its own scripting language with constructs like getting the current time and date, and waiting until some time, with flow control statements, so it should be possible with a script.
I'd like Check&Get to automatically display the first highlighted change in a page when it opens the snapshot up in the browser tab and then, at the press of a hotkey, move to the second change, and so on. Website Watcher has this feature and it is extremely handy.
Need I say more?
