Description: Users might be blocked from creating multiple downloads, especially if there's high load on the cluster. It would be good if the portal explained what was going on, especially as the limit (3) is quite low.
(I've deleted the URL, since it starts a new download.)
Original report below:

It's probably this exception:
{code}

Comment: I've written to the user. She had three 1M-ish downloads proceeding, and the high load on the cluster means they're still proceeding hours later. It would be good if it was clear what was going on, so I'll turn this into a request to improve that.
