There is a special character in there that its not able to read. I honestly don't know which one it is nor do I have the attention span to look through all of it. My suggestion would be to keep the current one as a backup and make a new .yml where you make it without using any special characters and saving it as the default ANSI format to see if that works.
If you're transferring the .jar files via FTP: try forcing binary mode. If that doesn't work maybe the download itself is corrupt.
