Is there any way in Safari (6 on Mountain Lion) to have it remember a different download folder per website?
So if I visit my bank and download a statement I can pick my /finance/ folder to download to and have it remember that location for future visits.
Meanwhile I can go to basecamp and have anything I download there go straight to /work/
In Firefox there's a secret flag you can set that allows this behaviour, is there any way to do the same thing in Safari or through an extension?
Yes,
There is an extension for this called ZoomBySite. Here is a description of the software from it's website:
ZoomBySite is a Safari Extension that will automatically zoom each site to the zoom level of your last visit to the site. A site is defined by a unique domain name (so www.apple.com is considered different from store.apple.com and each could have its own unique zoom level).
It does this by intercepting the Zoom In and Zoom Out keyboard shortcuts [...]. It zooms the page in or out by the desired amount (see the Preferences section below) and also stores the zoom level for the site. As each page loads, it checks to see if there is a stored zoom level and sets it again for the current viewing. If you change the zoom level of a site, any other tabs or windows that are open to that site will also change their zoom level.
You could create a folder action in Automator, to watch for new files in your Downloads folder and display a notification banner whenever it detects a new file.
It should look something like this:
It's not the ideal solution, but at least you'll notice something has started downloading. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to do it in Safari. The only things you could do is use a Shell script to move stuff around (based on file types or so). Or you can use the Automator to define rules for your download folder. A good alternative, which specifically focusses on file management is Hazel.
