No, but seriously, half of my research time is wasted on renaming downloaded files. (Yeah, I know, there's reference management software but people use different ones, so sharing papers or storing tgem for easy access is still dependent on properly named files.)

Why aren't you just sending people a doi or a hyperlink if they want a paper? And if they have asked for a specific paper surely they can do the renaming?
