The .1 files are broken downloaded files that were auto repaired by par2 but NOT auto cleaned up afterward.

This can happen if under par2 settings you have checked "PAR2 repairing", but have NOT checked "Cleanup after PAR2 repair".

Be aware that turning on the "Cleanup after PAR2 repair" option will remove both the .1 files AND all the par2 repair blocks after repair is complete.
That's why I don't turn the option on. I want to keep the par2 repair blocks.

See my post on this feature request :)
