All files with the 'fruitsalad' filenames are to be ignored.
They aren't always passworded, though they usually are. You can be
sure, however, they are Off-Topic. It's the latest plan by uploaders
of mostly first-run movies and television programming from the US, to
avoid the DCMA lawyers by encrypting the filenames and passwording the
files themselves, so that only the members of their 'clique' can
1)find and 2) open the files. Obviously a waste of time for anyone
else. Seeing a fruitsalad filename in an NZB search engine may point
the lawyers to a group, but without a way to decode the filename, or
open the file once they find it, they're at trail's end.
Uploading them to off-topic groups, like this one but also to several
others, also helps throw the lawyers off track, as the Perry Masons
won't be searching each and every Usenet group in hopes of finding
their clients' copywritten material, and couldn't identify it or open
the file, even it they were disposed to invest the time and effort.
Using the following filter (if you use Agent) will help you flag these
files to simplify their deletion. Whether you set up your filter to
Delete or Ignore is up to you, but this will help more easily isolate
them for your preferred action.
The filter flags all files with a given number of consecutive letters
in the filename. Most legit filenames don't have more than a few words
in the title w/o including a space. You can adjust that number up or
down by adding or deleting repetitions in the filtering sequence.
