## Problem S3 downloads were sometimes failing with `NotADirectoryError` and `FileExistsError` when S3 buckets contained objects with conflicting naming patterns that cannot be represented in traditional filesystem hierarchies. **Example conflict:** - S3 object: `foo` (file) - S3 object: `foo/documents` (file requiring foo to be a directory) This created a race condition where download order determined success/failure ## Solution Used tempfile to create unique download paths for each S3 object: **Before:** ``` S3: "foo" → Local: /downloads/foo S3: "foo/documents" → Local: /downloads/foo/documents Conflict: foo cannot be both file and directory ``` **After:** ``` S3: "foo" → Local: /downloads/a1b2c3d4e5f6/foo S3: "foo/documents" → Local: /downloads/9g8h7i6j5k4l/documents No conflicts: Each file gets unique directory ``` ## Future Work This PR targets only the s3 downloads. I think it would make sense to use tempfiles for all downloads (as in [PR #571](#571)), but that requires more extensive changes to implement cleanly. This fix provides immediate relief from the path conflict issues while we work on the more comprehensive tempfile solution.
