Hi David, You can also consider setting shorter fetch interval time with nutch inject. This way you'll set higher score (so the url is always taken in priority when you generate a segment) and a fetch.interval of 1 day.
If you have a case similar to me, you'll often want some homepage fetch each day but not their inlinks. What you can do is inject all your seed urls again (assuming those url are only homepages). #change nutch option so existing urls can be injected again in conf/nutch-default.xml or conf/nutch-site.xml db.injector.update=true #Add metadata to update score/fetch interval #the following line will concat to each line of your seed urls files with the new score / new interval perl -pi -e 's/^(.*)\n$/\1\tnutch.score=100\tnutch.fetchInterval=80000' [your_seed_url_dir]/* #run command bin/nutch inject crawl/crawldb [your_seed_url_dir] Now, the following crawl will take your urls in top priority and crawl them once a day. I've used my situation to illustrate the concept but i guess you can tweek params to fit your needs. This way is useful when you want a regular fetch on some urls, if it's occured rarely i guess freegen is the right choice.
