What if the user runs out of space on his hard-drive, and/or would like to store his temp files on an external drive? Also, from personal experience, checking the incomplete files is sometimes useful for me (manually PAR2 checking, album cover checking, NFO or whatever).

Two solutions come to my mind:
1. Incomplete folder is stored in ~/.lottanzb/Incomplete ; UI provided to change this. Pro: invisible to user, no clutter in the Downloads folder. Cons: user might wonder where his downloads are going.
2. use the PREFIX_download scheme ; I don't really like that caps lock thing, so I would rather go with download (incomplete/failed/extracting). I'm not sure about parenthesis in folder names, but I think this is the way to go. Pro: an unique directory to get the actual content (only the name changes). Cons: an unique directory to get the actual content :).

Discussion still opened !
