If domain name is new (you recently bought it) then Google may still try to get old URLs (not because it remembers those links (it will de-index such not-working-for-a-long-time links) but because there is still a site that has links to this domain)
Wherever those links were published there maybe a typo in URL (domain name) and they are pointing to your domain (e.g. hellokitten.com instead of hellkitten.com).
I very doubt that it is Google checking for malware using SO many different URLs which look very similarly.
The URLs you showed so far suggest they are probably related to a torrent site. As we know Google does not like torrent sites any more. Maybe it had some suspicion (don't know what it may be) and checks your site for some common URLs that it founds on other sites.

Presumably because someone linked there once.
