epi can only handle 2 or 3 downloads at the same time

1/ Go to a page with download links (at least 6 or 7), for Instance I took http://mickeorgel.blogspot.com/2006/01/jos-gonzalez-live-frn-rotterdam-2005.html 2/ for each download link in the article, right-click on it and choose "Download link" 3/ the Download window appears with 2 or 3 items in the list, and once one if finished, another appears in the list. Expected Result: If epiphany is not able to download all the items at the same time, the items should be all least listed in the download window, but at inactive.
title type, sorry
If I try to reproduce this, indeed at first only two songs appear in the download manager. But after they are done, instantly all other queued downloads appear in the window!
This may be related to the fact that RFC2068 (HTTP1.1 spec) specifies that only two simultaneous connections can be made to any one server. I think this might be configurable as network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server in about:config.
Yeah, the problem is not the number of download at the same time (Two is enough), but that the items to download appear in the download window only two by two. Reinout, I reproduce the test case with the link provided in comment 1 : - Only the 2 first songs appears in the window, - Once one is downloaded, some songs (6 or 7) appeared at the same time. - after 5 or 10 sec, the last songs appeared.

We should show the pending downloads in the view before they're started.
I guess the "Save As" dialog not showing up directly when you have started 2 downloads is another sympthom of the same problem? It is very frustrating when it pops up a while later when a previous download is done and you have diverted your attention elsewhere.
Yes. We should change this to present it immediately and just queue the start of the download.
