I was trying to download several small files. Regular download - no add ins. From this what I see I was not able to download more than 5 files at a time. It did not even allow me to add more to queue. I did not find any option to modify this setting. Any help?

Firefox only allows a limited number of connections (6 by default) to the same server. It is not polite to make a large amount of connections and doing that may get you banned.

Oh, I see. Yes, you are right. I did not think about loading the server.

Thank you for quick response.
