Yes, or if you want to have HTTPS in WinXP, you can set up retro https
proxy gateway on 2nd machine (Linux router, Raspberry Pi or newer Windows
7/10 device, MacOS etc). I recommend WebOne project:

This is probably a result of Windows XP not supporting the minimum required 
protocols to establish a secure connection. Luckily, you can connect to the 
official download server without establishing a secure connect at the same url 
using just http instead of https. For example, 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/ to 
download one of the releases or interim test builds.

I recently tried to download Freedos 1.3 and had a problem.
I used XPsp2 ; the download failed with a " unable to complete
secure transaction".  Your download source is too restricted.
