File Extension for In Progress Downloads #124

Please consider having a different file extension for files that are in progress.

Some examples of other programs that do this: MEGASync: .mega Google Chrome: .part

Maybe something like:

.download
.httpd

That way without looking at the application we can see in Windows Explorer which files are in progress and which have completed.

I considered this before, but I don't like having extra file extensions. The compromise was to use a temporary download folder which can be enabled in the Advanced options.
