As a non ntive english speaker, take my suggestions with a grain of salt
;-)

I'd call the first one "New item" (works for all collection type IMO), and
I'd keep it as for my use case, I don't necessarily create an item from
the Interrnet systematically, but also manually.

The second could be "New Internet Item", but I'm not as happy with that
one. You'll get better suggestions I'm sure.

Greetings,
Bruno.
