How do you stop your downloads folder from becoming a mess?

I delegate the contents to other folders and act like those aren't messy.
Installers/exe never stick around longer than I need them.

by moving stuff to new directories when the download is finished

delete after done

>let everything build up and now have to waste time to figure out what I want and don't
haha

Actually I'm running this at the beginning of every month.
dn=~/Downloads; do=$dn.d
[[ ! -d $do ]] && mkdir $do
mv $dn/* $do/$(date +%Y%m)

control a
shift delete

By deleting things i no longer have immediate use for. Anything else gets put in their respective folder.

sucks for you I guess

the problem with this (dl folder) is it's unconditional, just because it's been there 30 days means it's worth deleting. I have some stuff in my torrent collection folder that's been there for months, they can be deleted and I won't miss them but eh

*it's not worth deleting

I make a folder for every item

Send downloads directly into sorted directories instead of one monolithic folder.

I don't

I fucking organize it.

I throw installers in my installer folder should the program be less commonly used, and images are thrown wherever.

So you're not organized at all. Seems like a pretty simple solution. STOP DUMPING EVERYTHING INTO ONE SINGLE FOLDER YOU LAZY BITCH.
Bet your room stinks too jfc

>STOP DUMPING EVERYTHING INTO ONE SINGLE FOLDER YOU LAZY BITCH.
Who said that's the case? Stop projecting.

If something has a specific place it skips that folder entirely.

It just won't stop building up.
