I see this reoccurring issue that if I have already finished downloading a file and exit sailfish-browser and then next time when I open the browser again it starts to redownload the same file again.

Check if you have close all tabs when closing browser unchecked in browser setting. Some pages open download link in new tab. So it's possible that closing browser left dowload page open and started dowload again.
Edit 28.8.2019: Encountered this with my Jolla. Opened direct download link outside browser. Download started and page/tab closed and other tab from previous session open. Closed browser and after opening it again got download pop-up. Opening new tab that "replace" so called invisible tab seems to fix it. Happened only once, I assume that opening tab fixed it. Didn't test it more since I was on move back then.
I had something similar with Chrome or Fx on my Jolla phone as well. I think you also re-trigger a download if you restart a previous browser session.

this problem here show up with the new sailfish os version 3.1! so it's a new problem!
you are not helpful when you close all new problem reports because ten years back you had a similar problem report.
