I think its probably a rare case, but if you have an existing set of images for a particular app server (i.e. if you do multiple installs) and you try to download those images again the current implementation will try to FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE them.

The problem I am running into is that if the web server cannot overrite those problems then there are all sorts of errors (see http://drupal.org/files/cannot-replace-files-apps.png). My proposal would be to tell Drupal to rename the files instead of replacing them.

Here is a patch that tells Apps to rename the images it downloads instead of replacing them.
