From what your describing it sounds like your modem is capped, at around 150k/s I doubt you would ever notice any speed increase if you were to D/L one file from one comp and one from teh other. A router doesn't give you 2 lines, just allows both comps to connect through the same one, so you shouldn't see better performance. However if you were to get a second IP address from your ISP then you should be able to set up ICS on one comp and Run it into your second and using that little feature where you can Bridge 2 connections in XP, you should in theory be able to double your speed, that is if its not the server your downloading from holding you back.
