I usually set up a special named folder in the My Documents folder for downloads. I then either save the file onto a flash drive or an external HDD. This is done for safety just incase one gets damaged, corrupted, or missing. I tend to downlad and save important files twice.

Unless it's just something that I'm playing around with in which case I'll just save it to my desktop. As for making files sequential, thanks to Automator, I have a workflow that does that for me. And I use cmd + s or cmd + shift + s to save as. And yes, my folders have subfolders, and my subfolders have sub folders, and those folder have........zits :\ I always save files somewhere in my Documents folder.

Every few days, I'll have to tidy these files up and organize them. I wish there was a program that would learn my habits and do this all for me. Developers, start your engines.

With big projects i usually but different names for different parts and then making those to have different sub numbers that's best way to organize and keeping the work process moving and yes i do back up my file time to time.

However, while I am still stuck on my old school iMac G4, I currently backup as much as I can to my off-site FTP service. I do not currently use a revision technique, although I like that idea very much, and I will consider adopting that technique. However, I always enables the "automatically save" feature in every application that has it.I also try to keep my desktop as clean as possible. To compensate for this, I create a bunch of subfolders inside of a parent folder. It just makes me feel more organized and in control.
