This has been asked here more than once, and I haven't seen the Midnight
Commander method mentioned. In mc, select the directory containing the files
and type + <return> <f6> \L* <return> and it's done.

1 select all the files in the directory. You could modify the shell pattern.
2 move files.
3 \L means lowercase everything that follows, * matches the whole old-name.
(the name of the opposite panel's directory will disappear when you hit \)
4 Do it.
It's quite a flexible general renaming tool.
Cheers,
