Overview
When you attempt to download multiple files at once, most browsers block automatic downloads by default as a security measure, which means you may see a popup asking for permission or find that your downloads are blocked entirely.
When this happens, you'll typically see a message like "This site is attempting to download multiple files automatically" with options to Allow or Block. If you miss this popup or accidentally click "Block," you can easily change your browser settings to allow multiple downloads.
This guide covers how to authorize multiple downloads for all major browsers.
