I found a solution that works (for me) in all browsers. It's does not feel that good on the code side (at first) but it seems pretty stable to me on different browsers and different machines.

Chrome will ask the user to allow the site to download multiple files. IE doesn't care at all.

var onDownload = function(){
       var docs = module.getSelectedElements();        

       for(var i = 0; i < docs.length; i ++) {
           (function(){
               var doc = docs[i];
               window.setTimeout(function(){
                  $jq("#downloadIframe").attr("src", doc.url);
               }, i * 500);
           })();
       }

};
