Don't download files less than 2MBs(2000KBs) they are most likely viruses. Check out this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!.

This link has info on different file extensions, you can google for more information:http://www.computeruser.com/resource...filetypes.html

In computing, .rar is a proprietary file format for data compression and archiving. It's like .zip

.exe is the common filename extension for denoting an executable file (a program) in the MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 operating systems.

For list of extensions and their purposes visit this link:
