Artifactory cli - download existing files

I'm using a JFROG cli to download content from an Artifactory. It seems that even though a destination contains same files, cli is trying to download it. If I re-run the command without cleaning the destination folder, I takes the same time.
Is there any option to speedup the process? If destination folder has the same SHA1 file, skip?
Our command (download all folders a* in the repo): 

jfrog rt dl --threads=`nproc` repo_name/a*/ $TMP_FOLDER/

JFrog CLI is already skipping download in case of a file existence which is validated using a checksum.
You can see this by setting the environment variable "JFROG_CLI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG" and then running same download command again. In the debug log you will see on some files the following line: "File already exists locally" - this means the download was skipped due to a file existence.
The relevant code can be found in GitHub - see the method "downloadFileIfNeeded".
Keep in mind that the CLI still has to get the file info from Artifactory and calculate the local file checksum, so in case of a lot of small files, this won't have a strong effect as on big files download.
