My experience has been that most of those with the nonsense alphabet
mix filenames tend to be current US televivion shows, so I ignore them
right off the bat. (Won't watch the crap on television; why would I
want to waste bandwidth downloading it??).
But the majority of those with the five or six digit numerical title
tend to be movies, many, though certainly not all, classic-type
films. The recent upload of Unearthly Stranger was among those digit
filename uploads.
I found that opening the tiny srr file and reading it was much quicker
than downloading the first one or two rar's and opening them. There's
a lot of stuff uploaded that I have no interest in, and I'm not about
to spend the time opening rar's to find out that most of it is of no
interest to me, when I can open a text file in a second or two.
