Say, I open a browser and enter request for

The file in second tab doesn't begin to load until it has completed
loading in the first tab.
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.
And the trivial workaround is to have your client add some random number
on to the query string:
http://mysite.com/LargeTextFile.txt?a=123890127
http://mysite.com/LargeTextFile.txt?a=189471401
This also prevents some misguided cache from caching the result.
