I have downloaded a lot of papers from the journals for reading and

Yes, I run in to this problem as well. I go on reading sprees of
hundreds of papers. Recently it was something like 200 papers and 150
MB re: microfluidics. BibTeX is nice, but not always a given. Google
Scholar allows you to export citations as you find paper search
results- perhaps it would be possible to write a userscript/_javascript_
hack that would automatically download the BibTeX citation as you
download a file? This way, you always keep track of information per
download. This is a hack, not a real solution, of course.
