No adverse effects on actually using the book.

That is why I access these books via my laptop so that I can change the file name back to what it should be after the file is downloaded from the web site via ADE. Then I transfer the e-books over to whatever e-reader I am using.

Gutenburge usually provides an alphanumeric name. I keep the website up and do a copy/paste of the title as p12345 means nothing until you open the file. Same thing with Kobo books.
