It links to a file with that name. There have been times where I download a pdf and click the name only for my phone to open a different pdf than the one I was supposed to be downloading. Turns out they both had the same name.

It makes sense. I don't think it's possible to detect if the contents in two files are identical before downloading it, so all it can do is to compare the file name.

Anyway, the dialogue could be more helpful in this regard, but I guess that would also annoy or confuse some users.
