I've now mentioned this in the specification.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#bug-438870>

Ideally, this shouldn't require any code changes to USC itself, just to
aptdaemon and apt. USC should request every task immediately, if it
doesn't do that already. apt should be able to do the concurrent
downloads, then pause every task except for the one that's currently
using dpkg. aptdaemon should be able to signal what's going on for every
current task, and USC should just continue to reflect what aptdaemon
tells it. Quite possibly, though, I don't know what I'm talking about
and it's much more complicated than that...

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
- 
- I was installing a few programs at once. When one of the programs was finished downloading it continued on to install the program. When that program finished it went on to download and install the next one and then went on to the next one after that. 
+ I was installing a few programs at once. When one of the programs was finished downloading it continued on to install the program. When that program finished it went on to download and install the next one and then went on to the next one after that.
  It would save a lot of time if when the program is installing to start the download of the next.
