I prefer to work with PDF files in external PDF viewer (Foxit Reader), so I've set up Chrome to download files only and open them in Foxit Reader.
My download folder is constant, I don't need to specify the download path every time when I download something from the internet.
The problem is that Chrome automatically downloads the same file again if I've downloaded it before. As a result I have a lot of copies of the same file [file.pdf, file(1).pdf and so on] if I've searched for it several times.
Is there an option in chrome://flags
or maybe an extension that checks the download folder for already existing files and stops downloading if some file with the same filename or hash is in the destination folder?

at the end of the filename the file with the same name without this slack exists (of course it is possible that this part is a real part of the filename, but I have never seen such downloads yet...).
