Being left with _UNPACK_ folders in destination

Running on a WHS, I've occasionally had _UNPACK_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx left in my destination directory but have put it down to the WHS going to sleep while unpacking (box only runs few hours a day) so not completing and I've just re downloaded no problem.
But the last couple of days, the WHS hasn't slept at all and I've got a number of _UNPACK_ dirs.
Each have a single file as expected, the files (video) *appear* ok apart from the the _UNPACK_ prefix, history shows complete with no probs.

So - if server went to sleep while unpacking, what would I see in directory and history?
And is there a best way to verify files unpacked ok without actually watching them all the way through?

Thx!

:)

WHS is pretty obnoxious when dealing with renames.
There's only one solution, set the special setting "folder_rename" to 0.

Thanks, I'll give that a go (but I do kinda like the failed prefix so will see how it works out.)
