ASP.NET 2.0, download files in the background

Hi all,

I'm trying to write an application which provides a list of files the
client can download by click. It works fine so long, but it is not
possible to continue browsing or select another file while the
download is running. I've tried to start my sendFile() function (which
actually writes the file to the Response object) in a separate thread,
but the behavior remains the same. The URL I clicked while downloading
is loaded not until the download completed.
How do all these download portals handle this issue? Do they use
multiple dedicated-to-send-files asp.net applications?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
