@GiggleGoddess - exclusions work for me in Auto adding, did you hit the Apply after you ticked PDF in the list and did calibre tell you to do a restart, and did you do that - ie restart calibre?

I use a download manager that segregates downloads into separate folders by file type. In my Downloads folder I have subfolders for - Compressed, Ebooks, Music, Other, Software and Video.

The program I use is called Free Download Manager, I've been using it for years so whether I would choose it today is unknown. Search for Download Manager <your operating system>. Among other things (and this is not unique) it runs as a separate process, so if the browser crashes or I want to exit the browser then active downloads continue.

The attachment shows an example of how I have separate folders for different file types.
