Those files are only grouped in the search results. LimeWire only swarms from files, if size AND name are the same.

Or when Limewire automatically continues a download after doing a fresh search. Does it really work? Why can't I turn that feature off?
Why would you?

If I un-group the files and select just the same size files and click download, it tries only the first one, and then I get a message on the screen telling me I am already downloading that named file, for each selected.
Well, - then don't do that. If you download one of those files, LimeWire will try the other locations automatically on some point. - Or even better, - keep those files grouped.

Why can it work for the group, but not work for the files that I manually selected.
There is a different algorithm for starting the download of grouped results and results that aren't grouped.
