cue downloads within Safari?
Authored by: brotherjake on Apr 20, '04 02:12:11PM

Maybe I'm over looking the obvious, but does anyone know of any scripts or any other methods that allow one to change the maximum number of downloads in safari? This hint is great-I like the idea of loading multiple files in the download window, but is there a way to limit the number of downloads, and have the remainder cued within Safari's download window?
Example: Instead of having 10 simultaneous downloads from a single site, I have 1 download, and 9 others cued to start after the previous download finishes. Sequential rather than simultaneous that is. Any ideas?

I assume you meant "queue" downloads. Anyway, it's trivial with a 3-line shell script and wget.

Mine used to only do four at a time, then cycle to the next four, etc. Somewhere about 10.3.3 or the latest safari update, it started doing EVERY download at once.

I'm not sure which I prefer, but a preference to control this would be nice (like IE).
