yEnc isn't a cipher, but rather an encoding for mapping binary to text, similar to base64 (but much more effective). So this denotes yEncc encoding.
The files you're seeing are PAR2 files, which are used for repairing. They're useless without the base file. The file in your example contains 32 recovery blocks. That means if your base file has 32 or less damaged blocks, this parity file can repair it.
Usually, you'd download all files belonging together in a single download and let your downloader do the rest. This is normally done by loading an NZB file that you either get from a Usenet search engine or an indexer.
Thanks :) Yet... why keeps Readarr fetching those and not the base file I wonder?
You can make a custom format, which filters the stuff you don't want and add that to your quality format with a negative score. Radarr won't pick them up then anymore. If you don't know how to do that, I could explain it.
Hey, wwhile I indeed didn't even know one could do a custom format with a negative score, I solved the issue by adding the corresponding releases those par2 files were for manually.
