Nope. Just update.bin.tmp.partial , as usual.

The finished file (if I wait for OTA do download it) has some seemingly random text at the end that kinda looks like a GUID, but with the first part apparently always the same. Here's what those finished files looked like after I let OTA finish downloading update files twice:

update-3692520026-96e812dc-4b7f-4e20-96dd-5cbb7a91af12.bin
update-3692520026-ecfb5355-6007-4b0b-a8d5-1d892719a050.bin

The part after "3692520026" was consistent across finished downloads, so my guess is that "3692520026" is an ID that would uniquely identify a FW version for a given device model. The rest after that really looks like a GUID, and I can't think of a good reason for that to be there.
