You should be hitting allow. On windows it asks if you want to deny access (and thus you should say no). On Linux (and apparently macOS) it asks if you want to allow access (and thus you should say allow/yes). Ender should probably clarify this by OS though.
EDIT: Didn't read the last portion. I don't know about on macOS, but on windows and Linux you don't actually redownload the files - it merely checks versions against the server and uses the last used ones if versions haven't changed. I assume macOS is the same, but I don't have a mac. The resources are stored in your java cache (from a quick search it looks like it's located at /Users/[username]/Library/Caches/Java/cache) it's possible that for whatever reason your cache is getting cleared out when you exit the game. After closing check your cache to see if the files are still there.
