Download with Mozilla Firefox internet browser, and you will have your downloaded files scattered in the download folder. One of Firefox and other internet browsers such as Internet Explorer weaknesses is the inability to save the file in specific folder based to its extension, but there’s something we could do to solve this problem if we’re using Firefox.
The method is to intall and use Download Sort extension. This add on is a sistematic way to keep your download folder tidy. As example, it will keep all your MP3’s file will in a specific folder while file with others format (.jpeg, .3gp, .wmv, .flv) will be stored in another folders for each type of the file. Try it out today!

This sounds like a GREAT extension. I use Download Statusbar and have all of my downloads sent to a folder on my desktop called “Attachments to View” but this seems more intuitive and saves me from having to go into the folder and manually sort the files!
Thanks a lot!

this function can also be possible in IE- if u use freedownloadmanager. In freedownloadmanager you can specify a specific folder for one or more extensions and it even has a silent mode setting so you wont get any popup messages asking for anything=++!!! (and many more features)
