In the past, I have solved this by downloading to a temp folder and then renaming the file to the appropriate folder with something along the line of this:

def move_to_download_folder(downloadPath, newFileName, fileExtension):
    got_file = False   
    ## Grab current file name.
    while got_file = False:
        try: 
            currentFile = glob.glob(DOWNLOAD_PATH+"*"+fileExtension)
            got_file = True

        except:
            print "File has not finished downloading"
            time.sleep(20)

    ## Create new file name
    fileDestination = downloadPath+newFileName+fileExtension

    os.rename(currentFile, fileDestination)

    return

## Click element to download file
inputElement=driver.find_element_by_xpath("{xpath here}").click()

move_to_download_folder(downloadPath, newFileName, fileExtension)
