 I apologize if I should have just reopened the relevant ticket I found,
 but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do or not, since I'm not
 one of the developers.

 Anyway... I ran across old ticket #143 (while searching for an unrelated
 topic before making a post) and I would submit that the "wontfix"
 resolution may not be the optimal action in that case.

 I believe you could avoid the regression bug mentioned by merely making a
 second attempt to transfer filenames with leading whitespace. -- I.e. Try
 once with the whitespace in the name, then if it fails, try again without
 the whitespace.

 This "retry" behavior should be applied to any operation such as
 permission changes, renames, etc. on files believed to have leading
 whitespace ... not just downloads, of course.
