No, there's no way.
If you prefer not to use an external download manager (why?) you can use DownThemAll, which is supported by FlashGot too.

is this something intergrated in firefox or a separate application, can this let me download links using flashgot and set a max of downloads at a time, lets say i have 10 files i want to download but only download 5 or 4 at a time

It is a Firefox add-on.

Yes it can. It works like an external download manager, but it "lives" inside Firefox.
An external download manager (which I recommend) has one important advantage, though: it survives browser restarts and can be set to start downloading automatically after suspensions/reboots.

FWIW, I just successfully downloaded 115 links with 'Browser Built in' using SeaMonkey 2
.
One up for the lizard!
Some downloaded, some downloading, some queued.

Not that I know of.
Anything related to "built-in" would be "Mozilla".
Though suppose FlashGot could have some kind of listener & only ferret out X many requests at a time.
But why bother, when you could use a third-party download manager.
