From what application? Can you tell by it's window? Web browser perhaps?

Firefox. When I open Downloads, I see,

bind(some number to rename the file)

0 bytes -- google.com

bind? what are they called exactly

Just bind, not .bind. See below.

ls -lZ output of the directory for us?

-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(1)
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(2)
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(3)
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(4)
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(5)
-rw-r--r--. marcel marcel unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 bind(6)

No idea. I would suspect a web page doing something funky.

It would have to be from Google but I'm not sure the appearance of the files correspond to Google access. I'll check. Note: I use gmail.
