No, they are okay. The incomplete (or "partial") files are in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial. What about the _1%3a? It is most likely "_1:" changed into a hex (?) representation. The colon represents the epoch in a version number, but the colon sometimes isn't safe, especially on an MS-DOS / Windows system where the colon is used to represent a drive letter; so, the colon is changed into "%3a" instead.
