For example for rattus_norvegicus you have files called

chr1.fa.gz 17-Mar-2006 09:12 76M
chr1_random.fa.gz 17-Mar-2006 09:12 1.0M

What are the latter?

See the UCSC FAQ. It talks about the human assembly but the same applies to rat.

Would help if it were as easy to see similar questions before posting as it used to be.
