Force download script not handling files with spaces properly

I have a regular old php force download script, uses this code:
Code: header("Cache-Control: ");
header("Pragma: ");
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$download.""");
header("Content-length:".(string)(filesize($path.$download)));
readfile($path.$download);
Where path is preset and $download is set by GET variables (don't worry, I've sanitized, I check the GET value against an array of acceptable filenames.) This works fine on my computer in both Internet Explorer and Firefox:
http://infectionist.com/music/
But I recently got the new Droid phone and found a bug. I cannot download files with spaces in the filename. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing is working. I even tried downloading a file with a space (failed), then renaming that file replacing the space with an underscore, then it worked. So I know that it's space handling that's the issue, I just can't figure out how to get around it!
The whole script is one that lists all the files in a directory that are of a certain extension (in this case mp3, wma, and wav). Each filename is put into an array, this array is used as the check against the GET variable's input. I then array_slice() the array to show 10 results per page. I foreach() the sliced array and print out information about the file, like filesize, filename, format, and a little icon. The filename is a link to download the file, printed like this:
<a href="?file=".urlencode($filename)."">
So spaces get replaced with a + sign in the URL, but get read as a space by the script. I think the problem lies with the readfile() line, I don't know why the Droid phone doesn't like it, but there HAS to be a way to fix this.
If someone, ANYONE, can help me, it will be very much appreciated.
