I have absolutely no idea on why it should change the content of the 
files. Have you tried using different browsers?
What about antivirus software? insthead of vi, please use the diff 
utility to check if the file is the same.

have you modified any part of OpenUpload? It seems it's sending some 
extra character but would not know where.

could you try uploading a small txt file and then downloading it and 
attach both of them in an e-mail so I can analize them?
