Sid is the name of the unstable branch.

old stable = Woody
stable = Sarge
testing = Etch
unstable = Sid

I don't know why they are different sizes, though.

Strange that it parses and tries both lines of sources.list
The default and latest is sid. Remove the line unstable

In fact you can see that mirrors.kernel.org resolve to 2 different adresses. So depending on when you query their dns you might fall on 204.152.191.7 or on 204.152.191.39. I don't know how they synchronise these 2 but it can take up to 24 hours to propagate the change.
Maybe try to use a dedicated debian server (http.us.debian.org) ?
