Thanks for the suggestion. I'd give it a try, but like I said before, I'm pretty ignorant about this stuff. I wouldn't know where to look for the actual media file, to try to download it. In other words, I wouldn't know where (as you put it) the .ram file is pointing, to try to find the version with the .ra suffix.
