is it possible to download files individually ,instead of all together, while selecting multiple files to download.
i want to download multiple files , but some of the files are very large and i don't want to sit at my computer all day waiting to unpause or pause downloads so that the files will download faster . i was wondering if there was a option to download files individually instead of all together. when they download together it can sometimes cause problems because my internet will restart and go to a slower data speed at different times of day. this causes files to be incomplete sometimes and sometimes have to be started over completely. so is it possible to have a downloading list that manages itself and puts downloads on hold until a previous file downloads?

You are probably limited by the speed of your download line. Consider possibly doing this overnight. The speed may be faster off peak and you will be able to leave the computer unattended.
Any possibility of getting compressed versions of the files to download ? Alternatively consider looking for specialised download management software. You could even probably use your Operating System and schedule the tasks with that.
Look into external download manager applications for a feature like that.
Like posted above, you can use an external Download Manager if you need download features not offered by the Firefox Download Manager.
You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.
