I know what you mean.
My own practice is to alter the filename (not the extension) when I'm
downloading something that may have a non-specific name such as
setup.exe, so that it says something like setup_Program-A_ver_1-0.exe
before saving it. That way I can at least know what the program is and
which version I have downloaded.
What I'd really like to see though is for the OS to provide some way
to enter a narrative description of each DL as metadata so that I
could enter a paragraph of information about each thing I download and
what motivated me to do so. There are some programs, I know, like
Total Commander for example, that provide the option to enter a
one-line description, but that's not quite the same thing. I am not,
however, optimistic that the option to enter metadata tags about
downloads is on the horizon.
