Wordpress uploads media to one pre-set folder. Relocate Upload lets you switch media to other folders.

FAQ
Why? What’s the point of these other folders?
Most servers are set up so that assets can only be used when referred from your own site – to stop bandwidth leeching. However folders can be set aside that don’t obey this rule – e.g. for placing images on other sites, downloading mp3s from RSS feeds and so on.
