Download file overwrites even with applied option "Overwrite if newer"

I may have recognized an inconvenient bug in the Download node.

While trying to sort out files that were not overwritten, as they are not newer than the local file, I recognized the option “If exists: Overwrite if newer” still causes to overwrite identical files. Guessing, as I download form a remote location (AWS S3 bucket), that no file attributes are received.

Thanks mw. I just tested this myself, and it looks to me like it’s reproducible. I’ll follow up with our developers to see what’s going on.
