Using the commandline version and a few scripting, this 
should be feasable. Note: if you are using winhttrack, you 
can copy the winprofile.ini file from the previous mirror, 
and modify it to start a new one:

- Create a new project folder (say, papers-02) and its hts-
cache directory (papers-02\hts-cache)
- Copy the previous (say, papers-01) winprofile to the new 
one (copy papers-01\hts-cache\winprofile.ini to papers-02
\hts-cache\winprofile.ini)
- Start winhttrack and select papers-02
- Change the filters (scan rules) and/or URLs for the 
durrent day

Using scripting, it could be automated (using a bash-like 
script, and a crontab call)

"Use ISO 9660 names" option (in 'Set Options' / 'Build 
options' I think)
