Sounds like junk files. Some of those will give you the 'already downloaded' error, even though you haven't downloaded the file before. Try this: Use the All Types search > search for artist name or album name, rather than song title > choose a file with 10 sources or less, or even a file with a single modem source. If all you still see in your searches are those 2 file sizes, in LW click on your Connections tab. Now you'll see 3 or 5 hosts that you're connected to (number depends on whether you use basic or Pro). Right click on a host > remove. Do this for the hosts that you're connected to & new hosts will replace the ones that you've removed. Start a new search & see whether you get different sorts of results.
