By and large, files with fruit salad filenames are some kind of

In addition, to keep the lawyers off the scent, they post files in
non-applicable groups. Most (but again, not all) tend to be either
current movies or popular television programs.
I think the takeaway is that you probably wouldn't want it even if you
Could get into it. For those files not passworded, you can try
downloading the first file and trying to open it. You may find an
actual name for whatever is inside, or you may be able to extract
enough of it using WinRar to open just a piece of it to get an idea of
what it really is.
I generally shitcan them from the get-go. If it was something the
uploader wanted me to have, he'd upload it so that I could get it
without all the hoopla.
