I've found this as well, with 3.0.11 and now 3.5. It seems to corrupt all sorts of files, not just images, but ZIPs etc.. Basically the larger the file the more chance you've got of it being corrupt.

It seems to be more previlent if you save the download onto a network drive, it doesn't seem to do it quite so much if you save the file locally.

I'm using Windows 7 RC x64, btw.
