Am looking for a script/application to organize my Downloads folder into different directories depending on say type of file and the day when it's downloaded. The folder grows huge after a week or so and I have to move the files myself. Will be great if I can just run a script and it does this for me.

Write it yourself (you can execute scripts whenever a folder's contents change, it's called Folder Actions). You can execute arbitrary (shell/Python/Perl/...) scripts using a simple AppleScript wrapper. You can even use Automator to write simple scripts. Here are some additional Automator extensions.
Alternatively, try Hazel.

I wrote mine eventually. https://github.com/a85/File-Sorter/blob/master/sort.py

Most of that is part of Finder's UI in OS X Lion (grouping by file types, and creating a folder with selected items). While not automatic, it's still easy to do. – Daniel Beck – 2012-02-07T20:23:20.160
I guess. I never found out. I use Windows, Linux and OS X together, so this works for me best. :) – Abhinav – 2012-02-07T20:25:57.297
Like Hazel. But I think will write my own script sometime in the future. :) – Abhinav – 2010-10-22T17:52:55.210
