.part is an extension that gets added to files being downloaded via Firefox (other browsers may also use this extention but I can't say which). If you're downloading a file named abcxyz.jpg, two files show up in the target directory: abcxyz.jpg and abcxyz.jpg.part. The .part file accumulates the data as they arrive, and the .jpg (or whatever) file shows 0 size until the download is complete; the .part file then disappears. The existence of a .part file and a 0-length file with the same filename indicates a failed download. To my knowledge, .part files cannot be edited or otherwise manipulated. Using the previous example, renaming abcxyz.jpg.part to abcxyz.jpg yields a file that cannot be read.
