Change/Rename the extension? – Bobby Aug 5 '10 at 13:35
Why not just copy the files from Vista to XP and save the bandwidth? Would be much faster too. – Fire Lancer Aug 5 '10 at 13:49

The .download extension normally indicates an incomplete download - the file is started but not finished.

I would try to re-download from a different browser and/or into a diff folder.
