Have you considered packaging the files for download into a .zip file?
This will let them download more than one file at a time...in a package.

I don't think there is a way to do what you are asking without dynamically generating a link for each file and allowing the user to select which files they want to download.

I believe Frinny is right. I have never seen anyone get around this limitation. I would think it might be possible using javascript (as long as it is allowed by security settings): when the first file is downloaded start downloading the second etc, but I've never seen this done either, and I don't know enough javascript to try it.

Could you have some server side code zip all the selected files up and have the user download the zip file?
