After commenting the portion of code described above, not only did it solve the 0 byte files problem (on FAT32) but also the doubling of files extensions. For every file I downloaded, an extension was added after the save dialog. This led to files being named ".zip.zip" which apart from being funny was harmless. Unfortunately, other files (rar, exe, ...) obtained a ".bin" and tar.bz2 / tar.gz received another ".tar". At least this little problem taught me that I should pay closer attention to debug messages :-)
