change download folder based on website from which I download

Question

Is it possible to change Downloads folder in Google Chrome (or any other browser) on the fly, based on the website from which I download?

Example: I start downloading on facebook.com and it downloads the file in ~/Downloads/Facebook. If I start the download from stackoverflow.com than the file is downloaded into~/Downloads/Stackoverflow.

How can I achieve this? Is there a plugin that does that?

Solution

You can use Downloads Router on Google Chrome to achieve download organization by domain, mimetype or filename.

Description from the Chrome Web store:

Downloads Router springs into action whenever you start downloading a file. It looks at the filename, filetype, or origin domain (source website) of the item, and matches this information against rules that you define on the extension's Options page. Should a matching rule exist, a "suggestion" is sent to the browser, indicating where it should save the file; this suggestion may however be overridden, as for instance when you use the "Save As..." feature.
