I mean, I can do that by hand already by selecting one book, trigger the function, while the job is still running select the next book, trigger the function, and so on.
As you've noticed, by running all in one BG process, it limits the number of simultaneous downloads running.

But that's a feature, not a bug. Several supported sites will start blocking you if you generate too much traffic. This way, you can launch several without having to manage that yourself.

Because trust, getting blocked for a few days is worse than slower downloading.

I've looked into that a few times. Getting meaningful progress reporting from BG process to the foreground would require significant re-architecting.
