I don't think this question has been asked from the searched I did so here goes. If a project has multiple files available for download, when you click more that one checkbox, the download but goes grey. Is that something that can be tweaked? It's would be great if I could select 3-10 items to download and Forge zips them then sends them.

Re: Multi-select download
step by step to get to releases -- yes this is relevant (but long winded)
in project home, click File Release button on top bar -- takes you to Package summary
-- if a project has a number of packages, they will be displayed here.
Select a package -- takes you to package details.
-- it is here that I think you are seeing the download selected button greying out, and being inaccessible. That is due, most likely, by the package being a container for releases, and system isn't set to download multiple packages.
You can download one package, and you will get all releases within, delivered as a zip file.
Select a release -- takes you to the contents of the package.
-- where a release is more than one item, you can select any number, even all, and have them delivered as a zip file.
In fact, the zipping of files is handy, but there is no indication on the download page that zipping will occur. If you used one of the buttons to retrieve even a single file (placed check, pressed 'download selected'), it will be delivered as a zip. That means any component, module template etc that installs via a zip will fail if it is released as a zip, because it wil be zipped up again..
