I have a list of files to be downloaded from a site. If I click on the link of any file, the download will start. When I click on the link of second file, that also starts downloading. I don't want this. I want second file to wait till the download process of first completes.

This is becuase if I start the download of second file, then speeds will get halved. If I select N-number of files, speed will get distributed N-number of times. This will not allow me access any file till all the downloads are complete.

I think you can use download manager, just try to find it in google and install it. Most of download manager has waiting list or queues.
