You can use the DownThemAll addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/ ) to manage your downloads. I started using it because Firefox would sometimes stop downloads in the middle without notifying me and I got corrupt/incomplete files as a result. DownThemAll fixed that and you can also set the number of concurrent downloads as you wish and reorder them.

What/how are you downloading now? Download managers? Add-ons?
firefox download library, i that image you see that 5 active downloads are going and other are waiting, i want to change that 5 active downloads to some other no. like 2 or 3. i am not using any download manager and other add ons
A download manager can give you better control.
This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
