A file queue would be a useful tool for downloading multiple files from a single
site.

Instead of automatically beginning all downloads, or stacking the selections
blind if the max downloads setting is reached, it would be nice to have a
visible list of files selected for download in the file queue.  It could be as
simple as a check box on the Execute/Save popup.  In the queue list it would
show all files, and their position in the queue.  This way if a site has limited
upload (dsl, cable modem, etc) you can grab multiple files, but still maximize
bandwidth for each download.

Very similar.  My bad, I searched but didn't find this one.  I went a little
simpler with a check box instead of prefs but essentially the same.
