As you said, you can get par2 to use them already.  (Specify them as
extra command line args, in case anyone else wonders.)

As far as the feature itself, I'm opposed to it, since the main idea
behind giving them the weird name is to avoid problems with either nget
or the user thinking they have a correct copy.  They can't just be
renamed at shutdown, since repeated runs of nget on the same directory
would then see them as having the correct name.  Likewise for the user
looking at the directory some time later where they may have forgotten
to run a repair yet..

I am however considering including a cleanup script that would
automatically run par2repair and then remove any leftovers.  (Perhaps
even nget could call it automatically on shutdown if it determined it
was needed and that there is enough data to do recovery.)  Of course,
such a script would have to be very careful to not delete any unrelated
files that happen to be laying around.. (I have a prototype that I've
been using, but I'd like to maybe make it a bit more automagic before
including it...)
