Firstly, this is probably the wrong forum for this (Igniter Code -- Use this forum to post plugins, libraries, or other code contributions, or to ask questions about any of them)
Secondly, you're being VERY ambigous with what exactly the problem is

When I said this is the wrong forum, I mean subforum, COde and application development might be a more suitable sub forum for these topics in the future (but there's no point in reposting this in 2 places, as it will split the responses which just makes things confusing)
What are the junk characters? This has come up before, so a quick search might help

I know this is thread is a bit old, but today I had the same problem and I thought I´d share my solution for it.
I´ve attached a custom download helper, it´s the same which ships with CodeIgniter - just a few changes.
Use it like this:
Code:
$this->load->helper('custom_download');
force_download_custom('awesome_file.xlsx', 'path/to/file/file.xlsx' );
