I do this all the time, by way of Mozilla.  Did it twice today, 
downloading a total of 8 iso images, 4 at a time.

You should be able to do the same with most any graphical browser. I 
assume gftp is graphical, but have no experience with it.  I've also 
downloaded multiple files at the same time via separate term windows, 
multiple incidents of ncftp.
