[QUOTE="welshred, post: 1661771, member: 200925"] Ok, as the title suggests my downloaded text files always have funny characters in them and I am wondering if there is a way to stop this happening because these weird characters do not appear if the same file is downloaded on a windows machine (exact same file). For example the word "Stereo" in one of the files looks like this on Mac download... StÈrÈo but like this on windows download (which is correct)... Stéréo The entire file is littered with changed characters and I've tried to find the answer but cannot so any help appreciated. [/QUOTE]
