I typically have FileZilla set to max 1 concurrent download to avoid fragmenting large files. If it could automatically recognize which destinations are on different partitions, it could be able to download multiple files without risk of fragmentation.
This might be hard to detect on Linux & Mac, but on Windows it's pretty straightforward (which letter the path starts with - C:, D:, E: etc.)

Re: Feature idea: Checkbox for max 1 concurrent download per partition
Hah, you wish. Have you ever heard of SUBST.exe? It associates a path with a drive letter. Then, we have symbolic links, which can point to other drives, too. It's not that easy under Windows, either.
For greatly reducing fragmentation, enable the "Preallocate space" option in the settings. It reserves local space before the download, so the filesystem driver does not need to decide where to write next in mid-transfer.

Re: Feature idea: Checkbox for max 1 concurrent download per partition
Another option would be to get an SSD and embrace the fragmentation.
