In my forum I have discussions with 40 pages and about 30 attachments (90MB), at this moment about 27 users are downloading all attachments of the discussions instead of single file slowing down the forum.
This function must be disabled from the admin panel!
Thanks
Then create a ticket and pull request for adding it as an option. ;)
The slowness is not likely due to the actual downloading. It's more likely the compressing of all the files into a zip.
