Not with only one CPU. The ‘overhead’ required to manage multiple tasks on a single processor would be prohibitive.

To download more than one at a time, go to your account, general preferences, and change the item "connect to network about every" to a higher number. This way you will get a few to process. As Odysseus stated it still will only do 1 at a time, but it will keep a small cache.
