So indeed I don't care what exactly I rename them. At least they could add an incrementing number?

I too use the magic plug in, not ADE. I purchase and download my requisite three books a day, download the files which are named URLLink.acsm, URLLink(1).acsm and URLLink(2).acsm. I drag and drop those acsm files into Calibre and boom! Three different ePubs automagically appear in Calibre. No download rename or anything.

Test it with three already purchased books and see if I am incorrect.

Weird...when you said "At least they could add an incrementing number?" it sounded as if you would like to have one or the other change.

Or maybe I'm just being a pedant...
