Let say I want to download 100 songs from the internet, but my computer only lets me download 2 or 3 at a time. When the download is complete a box pops up and tells me it is complete. The problem is that it won't start downloading the next song unless I tell it to start. I can queue up all 100 at once but they minimize to the tool bar and then wait for me to tell them to start downloading.

What would be nice is if I can just walk away from the computer for an hour and all 100 will download themselves. Any help?

Depending on where you are downloading the songs from, most programs have an option in set up to specifiy the maximum numbers of consecutive downloads and uploads. Change it to 100.
