How would it know what files to move? If its all the files in the downloads Folder then why not Command - A, Drag and Drop?

If it not, then how would it know?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is this something that Automator can do? Perhaps there is some other software that can run in the background and do this. A web plugin maybe?

Getting something from the web in a set order is not easy. You either need callbacks or long pauses so no matter how long something takes it will be finished before the next one starts.

Is this commercial? I might be able to write something in Cocoa. PM me.
