This is perfectly normal. After the first time I did a file download 
from the site I've NEVER had 100% new QSLs in any LoTW update. The 
number of records always exceeds the number of new QSLs. Lots of guys 
keep uploading the same QSOs over and over, and the system will 
happily count it as a new QSL and put it in the update file every 
time. As a matter of fact for about 3 months running I had a YV who 
kept uploading the same QSOs once or twice a week. I had the same QSL 
for a 6 meter QSO every time I downloaded a new report file. DX4WIN 
does a great job of sorting out the dupes. Just set the import 
preferences to "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag" and have at it.
