Maybe I'm over looking the obvious, but does anyone know of any scripts or any other methods that allow one to change the maximum number of downloads in safari? This hint is great-I like the idea of loading multiple files in the download window, but is there a way to limit the number of downloads, and have the remainder cued within Safari's download window?
Example: Instead of having 10 simultaneous downloads from a single site, I have 1 download, and 9 others cued to start after the previous download finishes. Sequential rather than simultaneous that is. Any ideas?

I assume you meant "queue" downloads. Anyway, it's trivial with a 3-line shell script and wget.

Mine used to only do four at a time, then cycle to the next four, etc. Somewhere about 10.3.3 or the latest safari update, it started doing EVERY download at once.

I'm not sure which I prefer, but a preference to control this would be nice (like IE).

If you use the Javascript Bookmarklet (Steve Kangas, bookmarklets.com), you can list all the URLs which you can then copy into the Download window (e.g. below direct from the above website):

javascript:WN7z=open('','Z6','width=400,height=200,scrollbars,resizable,menubar');DL5e=document.links;with(WN7z.document){write('<base%20target=_blank>');for(lKi=0;lKi<DL5e.length;lKi++){write(DL5e[lKi].toString().link(DL5e[lKi])+'<br><br>')};void(close())}

You can even filter it with if() statements to only choose certain links like mp3s or pdfs.

Something even cooler is that you can select multiple items from the activity window, hit copy and paste those to the download window and it will start all the transfers...

Even cooler.....from the activity viewer, Option-Double Click an item and it will download.

something less cool is that the javascript example above has just made Safari's window scroll horizontally from the far left of my screen out into the kitchen! <:-0
