everytime I download a file twice, the tizen api adds _2 (_3,...) to the filename. Is there a way to overwrite an existing file (instead of using the file api and delete the file)?

The download API doesn't allow to overwrite the file, so only way is to check for the filename which is being downloaded, if the same filename exists delete the file before you start the download.

On side note.. PhoneGap/Cordova is now supported on Tizen and even on PhoneGap's API "FileTransfer" , the FileEntry object provides methods to remove the file, and ofcourse this method should be called explicitly before downloading a file (using FileTransfer object).
