I don't you can, the way i've always done it is by starting the next job as soon as the previous one is done. Maybe Erel can answer this better.

Cheers,

You are allowed to restart a job which has failed I do it in a controlled (!) chain. If a job should fail, I repeat it.

As I have some kind of a cms system I only load the files the app did not load before (caching). So for me the single file download is a must have for me (to reduce the traffic).

Other solution: Zip all the files you need to download (with php) and unzip that one big file on the device. I didn't try that so far.

Why not? Thats the only way to download all the files in parallel.
