Create a symlink if that behaviour bothers you

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

Bonus for solving another common point of confusion with ~/Downloads:

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/Download
ln -s ~/Downloads ~/download

Won't this be annoying because you'll suddenly have 4 entries for the same thing when you ls?
