Repeated downloads when I launch Safari

I am using Safari 12.1.1


Every time I launch it, Safari downloads another copy of a file I downloaded a week ago. How can I stop this happening?

Rid of History-Related Files:



1. Use Spotlight Search (Hold Down Command + Spacebar), and type this: ~/Library/Safari

2. Rid of these two files:

    • LastSession.plist
    • Downloads.plist

3. Close Safari

4. try this all once more.
