What is the purpose of the RSS Downloader option Ignore Subsequent Matches?  How is it intended to be used?

Is an example of usage for people who download TV episode torrents, watch the episode, delete the episode after watching, and then don't want the RSS Downloader to re-download that episode?

Once it matches something it will not re-download the same thing.
For example if you have an RSS feed setup to download Season 5 Episodes 1-12 it will only download the first match it finds for episodes 1-12 in season 5, it will not download the same episode twice.

Only useful when the RSS feed is configured to automatically download matches.

Whether you delete the episode or not doesn't factor in, if i recall correctly it also doesnt matter whether the download finishes sucessfully or not, the RSS feed just marks that filter as "matched" for the episode and wont make subsequent matches based on it.

I'm also not understanding the Ignore Subsequent Matches feature. I get if it's disabled it will download multiple copies, but what's the purpose of setting the number of days? If I set it to 1 day, then after 2 days will it start to download others copies? Shouldn't the feature just be an enable/disable button instead or am I missing something?
