I am still confused why downloading multiple files at once is any better than downloading one file at a time? Is there a reason you must download all of them at once? I don't think they would get downloaded any faster doing them all at once. Unless you are building a bitorrent client for Android... then maybe you have to allow the app to download multiple files at once.
