While downloading many different type of files (.zip, .pdf., .exe, etc) from
various sites, the files are listed as being 1k in download manager. What it's
doing is adding the http headers to the beginning of the file somehow, which
corrupts the file so it's unopenable. This also happened in version 1.1 final. 

Here is a short dump of the first part of a .PDF file I downloaded today:

So I've been having to use Mozilla for my web browser and then IE (shudder) to
download my files.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a link to a file.
2. Watch the size progress go up in download manager.
3. After the file is downloaded, the final 'transfered' size becomes 1k.

Actual Results:  
The file downloaded completely, but with the http header attached to the file,
making is unusable, except by extraction by a hex editor.

Expected Results:  
Downloaded the file without the http header attached to it.

All of the .zip files on this page downloaded the way I described above:

Other sites have also done the same thing, such as pdf files I downloaded from
www.audiovox.com.
