This is what I'd expect if your server was sending directives to your 
browser which indicated that it could just download the file once and 
display it from its local cache for the second tab - i.e. there is no 
point in downloading it twice. What headers are you sending? Check with 
something like the "Live HTTP Headers" plugin for Firefox.
