It only *looks* like it downloads everything again -- this is purely a

It did take a reasonable amount of time. Not less than downloading the
first time, but I can't be sure. The ips server is local, though.
If you can actually prove it's happening, then file a bug or email
pkg-discuss about it. My guess is that there's more than meets the eye
to the issue you're seeing.
Since files are retrieved by digest, there's no reason to cache them by
any other means.
But it would be useful.
The manifest files for the packages have provide all the information you
need to map names to digests; adding links would do nothing to improve
the performance of the system.
Again, the structure of the cache is not conducive to the sort of
linking you're talking about.
