Research direction

Start at the CLI download command and trace the password-protected ZIP path. Check how the request hash and output filename are passed through, then verify that a downloaded ZIP uses the request hash instead of a numeric filename, including when downloads are automated from a list of hashes.

Description

Hello,

When using the download command with password zip, the filename should match the hash used during the API request. At the moment, the downloaded zip is saved with a unique numeric filename. Would be better to be downloaded with the hash used so it can match. I use power shell to automate downloading a list of files by supplying a list of hashes.
