Description
Checked for duplicates
Yes - I've already checked
Is this a regression?
No - This is a new bug
Version
develop
Describe the bug
Within the same workspace directory, you can have a file name test1.seqN.txt and another file with the name test1.SEQN.txt with different file contents. Depending on the OS, if you attempt to download those files into the same directory, the names will clash.
I'm not really sure if this is technically a bug, but it's certainly an unexpected inconsistency.
Reproduction
- Create a workspace
- Add a file with a name in all lowercase
- Add another file with the same name, but in all uppercase

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a workspace using two filenames that differ only by case, then trace workspace filename validation and the download path. Compare behavior across case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems; done means the project has a documented and tested outcome for duplicate case variants without download name clashes.
