Hello,

We've noticed that the item statistics page sometimes lists the same file 
multiple times in the File Downloads section, each with a different number of 
downloads.  For example:

File1.pdf              45
File2.mp4            23
File1.pdf              3

Querying Solr directly, it looks like there's multiple bitstream IDs for the 
"same" file, which explains why they're being reported as different files.

I suspect that this happens when a submitter re-uploads a file with the same 
name during submission workflow (and maybe after it's been installed).  This is 
not unusual in our case because we have strict guidelines for things like the 
title page, which we require the submitter to fix before the submission is 
approved.

A similar problem occurs when the submitter decides to change the filename 
slightly, even though it's conceptually the same file:

File1.pdf                              45
File1_Final.pdf                  167

In both cases, we only want to show File Download statistics for the files that 
actually appear on the Item Page.  Is there an easy way to do this, or should 
we submit Jira issue?

Thanks,

Anthony
