The fix for this problem would be to URL encode the filename that gets displayed so the # turns into a %23 when it is accessed in the URL. This was a problem in Internet Explorer 7, and I'm not sure if other browsers had the same problem.

Another fix would be to disallow that character...which seems like a better solution to me! :)

Thanks,
Mac

This is a Drupal core issue. You definitely should test Transliterate filenames module. Please report back if that module works for you (and mark this issue fixed if it does).

I recommend using transliterate, but doesn transliterate attempt to fix special url characters while doing it's work? I'll try to get the url encode in in the next few days.

@mclemmens:
Can you verify this is still an issue after transliterate is installed?
