I have been experiencing some instances where one of the files I have downloaded to the 32 GB USB stick are turned into a 0 byte file. I only now clearly identfied it happening. Even when I attempt to re-download, the same thing happens when the USB stick is removed and reinserted. Refreshing the file manager window and changing directories and returning confirms that the file is solid, but when the USB stick is removed and reinserted into the same or a different computer the file suddenly becomes 0 bytes. I have now even reformatted the USB stick and the same thing happens!
I try and run badblocks, but I get this error:

/dev/sdb1 is mounted; it's not safe to run badblocks!
