I now have the original file (filename.rar) and the duplicate (2215-filename.rar) in 'downloads', and my question now is this: can I just delete the original?

My thanks for any help.

Yes, you've to delete the original files which you were used to importthe files. I have done this 5000 times already and no files missing from the download page

if the original files and the renamed files is in the same directory be cautious when you delete. like you mention 2215-filename.rar is the file from downloads page which you are not suppose to delete and if you do delete those renamed file with numbers the link from download page wont work
