New version is always downloaded even if it has been downloaded already

[ramaralo]

• Version: 22.7.0

• Electron Version: 11.1.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target:

I'm using the auto-updater with the following configs:

import { autoUpdater } from "electron-updater";

autoUpdater.autoDownload = false;
autoUpdater.allowDowngrade = true;

Since autoDownload is set to false, I'm calling autoUpdater.downloadUpdate() if the server (defined via autoUpdater.setFeedURL()) responds with a new version available.

My expectation is that, if I call autoUpdater.downloadUpdate() several times, auto-updater will only download a specific version once.

However I see that the same version is always downloaded even if the update info doesn't change:

{
  version: '6.12.0-alpha.3',
  path: 'https://path/to/some/file.zip',
  sha512: '650011d0d734adef86efb90e9bd7d45da4a446dfdd70ba89dd258065da65954b24247ebee66821aa2c1d17f5fa61ef9c32c006ebeb0ae7576f7b566f7b0ecc33'
}

Is my expectation correct? Should auto-updater manage this?
I can see a related issue has been created before (#1788).

Thanks.

Closing as we found that event download-progress is not being triggered twice so we are assuming that despite the download event is triggered, the download happens only once.
