This is a feature request. I did not find it already entered. Basically, what I
want to see Camino implement is a download queue where the user can specify how
many simultaneous downloads to do, and then be able to queue up several files to
download.  IE 5.x on OS 9/X has this feature, and it's the only thing that I
miss from that product.

This feature is incredibly useful if you are downloading from a site with a
large number of files to download and you don't want to spam them by trying to
download 20 at a time.

Reproducible: Always

This is probably more complex a feature than Camino's developers would really
like to spend their time on. I think there's a third-party add-on (Download
Deputy?) that will do this for you.

As Greg points out, this would be considered a third-party opportunity.  Keep in
mind the goal of Camino is not to be the uber geek browser, it's to be a browser
for Mac users without the kitchen sink approach of Mozilla.
