When I created a download script a couple weeks ago I used
readfile($filename) instead of fread() and didn't get anything like what
you're getting.
[snippet]
header("Content-type: $type");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file_name.'"');
readfile($dfile);
[/snippet]
NOTE: $dfile = path + file;
