XP Pro should be able to download as many files as you want. I assume you are using the same internet connection, meaning the broadband is the same?

What software are you using: Internet Explorer? What firewall?

The problem is most likely your firewall settings or it could be a coincidence with the internet provider.

This is a feature of Internet Explorer:

"To comply with current Internet standards (Request for Comments 2068), Internet Explorer limits the number of simultaneous downloads to two downloads, plus one queued download. This configuration is a function of the browser."
