What are you using to download on the Dinosaur that proves there is
actual constant data activity?

Here is my point: I can download a file with wget in Linux and watch
the progress in various ways so I know when it is working and when it
has stalled. I can copy a file from my USB drive to my hard drive and
disconnect the drive in the middle of the transfer and windows will
still show activity for a few seconds as if nothing happened before
crashing and BSOD'ing...  lol

How do you know for sure the Windows box has contant connectivity and
the Linux box does not? Sounds to me like you are having consistent
problems with the DSL and Windows is remaining hopeful that your
download is coming.
