Are you upgrading from a previous version of Windows? Is this a clean install? A new hard drive? What was previously on the drive? Is it a new computer?

Did you repartition the hard drive during the Windows XP setup? FAT32 or NTFS file system? Did you have any problems with Windows98? How big is the hard drive? How big is the partition you're trying to install Windows XP on?

Hold on ... I'm a bit confused. Your topic says "Problems Downloading Windows XP" but when you download something, you do so through a web browser or ftp client, etc. over the Internet. You don't install software - especially an operating system - by downloading it.
