[SOLVED] Setting website downloads to specific location

[aidfarrell70]

Does anyone know if it's possible to set downloads from a certain website to be located to a specific folder using chrome? For example, if i created a folder on my desktop and downloaded files from youtube.com, all the downloads from youtube would go to that folder?

As far as I know, it's not possible to redirect downloads to specific folders based on the source.

the browser let's you set the download location but it will not be site specific.

however, i assume if you're grabbing yt videos, then you are using some kind of plugin. the plugin should allow you to say where those files go. i don't use chrome so i guess if it allows for downloading yt videos directly without a plug-in, then you'll need something else to direct those specific files where you want.

you could use a different browser just for grabbing those videos. would allow for specific location and not mess with default location of other browser.

chrome has a portable version that can run alongside your pc's installation allowing different settings for each

just a thought anyway
