Every torrent, even completed has some additionnal file in the download folder and its filename is .<checksum of the torrent>.parts
What is this for ?
What happens when we delete them without to delete the torrent in Deluge ?

Re: What are thoses files ?
The torrent file contains a hash which allows it to self-check itself for corruption during the download of the torrent's contents. Basically, the hash in the torrent file can be used to confirm the file you downloaded is the same one specified in the .torrent file.
Many Library managers have a way to delete those file upon post-processing.

Re: What are thoses files ?
OK but you don't explain what this file is for, it is not the way the torrent uses to store its hash sum, it keeps its own torrent file in the /home.
That could be to store the data of some parts that we didn't chose to download, so that these files don't appear in our download folder.

.parts files contain pieces from partially downloaded files that are unselected. Usually the edge pieces between 2 consecutive files.
