      @leocg What exactly do you mean by broken? I've tried a bunch of regular image files and they all open and are perfectly normal.

        @leocg They always say complete if that's what you're talking about so no, from what I can tell nothing is wrong

          @ludwig Any downloads that, for any reason, weren't completed.

            @leocg No, they all say "Download complete". Happens with programs and images from multiple sources.

                @leocg Nope, I mentioned trying that, turning my anti-virus off and restarting pc.

                  @leocg Would you recommend reinstalling opera from scratch at this point? Unless there's some hidden settings or something I could do to completely disable it as I've never seen or needed it before in the 5 or so years of using opera.

                    @ludwig You can try with a new clean profile directory to see if something changes.

                      @leocg Sorry can you explain what you mean with your suggestions, I just tried changing the location for downloads to another folder on another hard drive and I'm still having the same problem if that's what you mean.
