Can someone clear this up for me?

How can I download someone's private uploads? Is the key to "unlock" the file embedded in the URL gibberish?

Correct, that's the file key and you can choose between appending it to the URL or transfer it to a friend through a secure channel.

Thank you for answering so quickly. So where is this scraper getting the URL's from? A forum or something?

None of these are scapped i suppose. It's all user submitted stuff
