Creating a folder and a file with the same name in a folder is not allowed. The 
reason is that a folder is a special type of a file, i.e it's a file including 
the file mode bit d.
Also see e.g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_file_types

Thus, this does not work
touch ~/Downloads/test
mkdir ~/Downloads/test

an nor does this
mkdir ~/Downloads/test
cat > ~/Downloads/test
Ctrl+D
