How do you organize your CC?

For those that sub-folder the heck out their downloads (by this I mean separate folders for different types of seating, separate folders for clothing genders and categories, etc.) when do you do this? As you download the items, or later on?
Related question: Does anyone extract from the .zip or .rar into the appropriate folder? Does this make it easier to stay uber-organised?
Yes, and yes.
I have 1815 files in 262 folders. When I download something I make a folder just for it and put that folder inside the appropriate folder. I got tired of having orphaned meshes in my game.

I made all of my sub-folders immediately, before I started re-downloading. For the second question, I have a folder on my desktop that I extract files to, from there they go to "New Crap Here", or if it is something by someone very, very trusted (like Nouk for hair, any hacks from here) it goes directly to it's proper place. For example, I have a sub-folder called "More Awesome", and anything I get from here goes directly into that.

My way of sorting is to open the 'Downloads' folder and chuck everything in there. That's it. I don't have enough time to play as it is, let alone fuck around with mutiple folders. One day it will probably all blow up in my face, but eh, that's life on the edge for you.
In my defence, I do have a separate folder for hacks. I'm not that much of a philistine... ;D

That's what I do. I recently deleted my downloads folder and started again. Everything is in main folders by type (clothes, hair, skins etc.) and then I split it up by site/creator and then everything by them is split up by mesh/set. Every piece of clothing I download goes through the WW so i can make sure it's in the right bins, all hairs I rebin myself and then rename with the name of the mesh. I do it all as i go along so I can remember who made it so I know where to put it. My last downloads folder ended up being a mess because i could never remember who made what.
Bugger:
I don't even want to think about the contents of my DL folder now. Uhg... you are all reminding me just how unruly it is. I used to have it all tidy (as I am sort of OCD about nearly everything), with subfolders and all the necessary schtuff.
Now it's just a giant pile of miscellaneous hacks, recolors, meshes, and all sorts of shit that I can't even figure out. I keep putting off the reorganization of it since I have a lot going on outside of my sim world. But, I suppose I need to get on it or I will only be able to blame myself when it turns into a BFBVFS.... and I rather be able to put the blame somewhere else - like EAxis. :D
