When i open a new tab for each package a then i start a download request for
each tab, the download manager doesn't start all the downloads: I have to
manually found wich didn't starrt and click with right one on the link n' then
"Save link as.." to start effectively the download...only when i do this the
download manager shows the window where i select if I want to open or save the file

I use SuSE 10.0 with Gnome desktop. Happens more frequently when I'm long time
connected and I visited other sites.  The PC is a Pentium IV 1.8 with  640Mb Ram.

Firefox will only download a certain number of files from a given server at a
time. Others selected to download will not even get into the download queue
until the previous ones have completed, and they are probably timing out before
that happens if the previous downloads take some time to complete.
