I think while it's an annoying issue and many wallpapers are likely uploaded as
a number.jpg etc. I think we could do some relatively easy downstream changes
to make this better for users. I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

- When the user clicks install in GNHS it calls for instance this <a
href="https://api.pling.com/ocs/v1/content/download/1585748/1?format=json">https://api.pling.com/ocs/v1/content/download/1585748/1?format=json</a>
which asks the Pling API server for a download link for product ID 1585748
- When GNHS attempts to download it, it could prepend the product ID, which
would make a wallpaper like 01.jpg turn into 1585748-01.jpg, making it
completely unique on the filesystem.

Thoughts?
