This is bad for variety of reasons. Consider writing a bash script that makes a subdirectory with current date if it doesn't exist, downloads url from the command line argument into that directory, changes the permissions and runs it. Then your workflow could be: - keep terminal open - Alt+tab to firefox, browse, copy link to executable file - Alt+tab to terminal, ./handle.sh <paste the link> ENTER - Alt+tab to firefox again - rinse and repeat There's many benefits - you don't get thousands of files in one directory (which can lead to performance degradation and even random errors), there's little risk that you run the wrong file, you don't waste as much time.
