It’s something i met in manga-py downloader and it speedups downloading one chapter. The concurrent downloads here is slight different cause it makes many chapters to be downloaded at the same time. Don’t see a problem to have both options to be used. And i am worry a little that downloading more than one chapters in the same time can bring unwanted attention instead of downloading one chapter at time.

Well, I could insert a custom option to enable something similar but please note that many websites ban by IP if you make too many requests to their servers (and this happens even now if you lower too much the download pause between one page download and the following one), I can easy imagine that making multiple requests at the same time from the same IP, increased also for multiple chapters, is far from the most safe download procedure and it could also activate any anti-ddos protections

Not sure which site does this, never met one. Beside webpage fetch more images at the same time, so not sure what could trigger ban. Anyway it was only small idea, nothing major.
