Another thing I suppose you could do to verify that it's not a web server issue is to take one of the files, copy it under public_html somewhere, then download it directly and see if it comes through OK.

I edited with notepad++ as suggested.

I can download files fine when I upload them to public_html

This is what I am thinking. I requested that my host transfer my website files/database over to the server, which they did.

I am considering uploading a back up database from last night and I've also got back up files from a few days ago which I am also considering overwriting the current files.

Do you think this would make any difference?
