The Windows machine is using a lot of bandwidth because it is watching a streaming video. So the Mac can not access the internet as fast since the Windows machine is "hogging" up a lot of the bandwidth. This is normal though, there may be ways on the Windows PC to limit the bandwidth but, I'm not exactly sure. Maybe just ask him to stop if you have to download a big file while he's watching a video. :)
