I think this bug fits better in General as it hasn't reallt anthing to do with
the download manager, this bug appears before the download manager is launched(I
think).
The bug is that the first two characters of filenames are stipped from files you
download from http://www.fileplanet.com/, the stipping first occurs when you the
download file dialog pops up.
I'm including a link with a file that should reproduce the bug:
http://xferva1a.fileplanet.com/^514195508/ftp2/planetfortress/hlmp/skillout-cgq.zip
The file lies in a temporary directory, so I'm not too sure of how long it will
be before it is removed, and I do not know if this bypasses registration(which
doesn't confer any spam :))
Fileplanet is the only place that I've encountered this at, I've only been using
mozilla for 3 days or so though. 
My guess at what's causing it is the ^ in the url, maybe it screws some filename
parsing function up or so... I haven't looked at the source, but that's your task :p

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a file @ fileplanet.com
2. Download file
3. Be unhappy

Actual Results:  
I became unhappy == the two first characters were removed and I had to add them
manually.

Expected Results:  
o_O? No idea, not remove them :)?
