You don't even tell us what happens when you try to download...I'll just have a guess.

If files don't move into the download pane, try this
License (click)

If files get stuck connecting & then need more sources forever, they're probably fakes. Check out this thread for info & tips.
Fake files showing up in search results

Use the All Types search, look for artist or album rather than song title. Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources

The orange warning banner with the padlock was added because there's a bogus LW update showing up in search results. It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates
