Gary -

One reason for this is downloading the file into a temporary directory which already has a file
with the same name. I've also seen it in some email systems, when an attachment is opened.

I have a situation where a user downloads an xls file from the internet and
the process adds a number in brackets to the resulting filename.

Original file: 083104.xls
Result: 083104[1].xls

What causes this?
No biggie, just wondering.
