Sweet. Thanks. I figured I could delete them, but wanted to make sure. In the case of a.b.multimedia, what I did was essentially completely clear the group, and redownload all headers. That seems to have fixed it, I think, as it's only about 1.4 GB now (and no temp files). It also seems to have fixed the issue with the "place holder"-titled folder, as--at least in this case--it's saving it to the properly-named folder. I'll check some of the others just to make sure.
FWIW, I think that the crazy large .tmp file must have been caught in some kind of loop. I don't keep that much data for groups, so while your a.b.multimedia is around 15 GB, my whole spools folder is about 30 GB, and the a.b.multimedia is about 1-2 GB. That's why I figured there must be something wrong there, when the temp file for one group was almost double what my entire spools folder had been. Even accounting for doubling (or tripling) in the group, that was a lot.
I'll keep my eye on it, so that if it happens again, maybe I can figure out what triggered it. (e.g. why THAT group?) Thanks so much for your help!![:)]( "Smile")
