The 'get' module downloads the file and names it the hash value

[shshnkvadali]

With the following code
api = ipfsapi.connect('127.0.0.1', 5001)
api.get(<hash>)
The file is downloaded and is renamed as hash. I'm not certain if this is done on purpose or an issue that needs to be resolved.

That is correct behavior. This is also what the ipfs CLI does when you download a file by hash, unless you specify an output filename. We do not currently have that capability, though if you're interested in adding it, see #48

I believe this should be closed as a duplicate of #48.

@lordcirth: Indeed, thanks for bumping!
