Gnutella Forums - View Single Post - What are those red files in the Incompletes Folder?

Ok, ok, I know I already asked this question on another post, but I thought I should ask this in a new thread.

What exactly ARE those suspicious looking red-named files in the Incompletes under the Library tag?
I suspect that they are the preview files created whenever I click the launch button for a download, but I might be wrong (and somehow, lately I get the feeling that I am).
I just don't like that threatening red color - you know, something intentionally written in red is supposed to stand out and red can also pertain to something bad (i.e DANGER! ).

Is anyone willing to satisfy my curiosity?

Oh yeah, before I forget, I went in the incompletes folder in the Finder and saw the .dat and .bak-something thingies in there and I don't know what they are too (although I KNOW that they ARE important so I don't touch these).
Also, I noticed that all the files in there were in real disorder, all spread out in this really big window, so, since I like orderly things, I tried to use the arrange function but, while it worked, when I closed and reopened the window the files were in disorder again. This can also happen without closing the window! Genuine funny magical self-moving files! - Sometimes, I find myself going there and just stupidly clicking "Arrange" over and over just to see mysterious magic happen before me. David Copperfield? Pfffff! I got Magical Jaguar OSX here!!
