I have a general downloads folder that is a collection of surprises. Like an attic where you shove things until later, and then completely forget about them.
Well, I use my download folder in a similar way about 50% of the time. I leave stuff in there until I have watched it, so basically I know if it is lying in there, I still need to get to it. Programs or other things I download I’ll move out of there though, but series/movies I’ll leave
