I'm having problems with the bbc.co.uk website and being able to download some content pnm:// content using NetTransport v1.94.281. I have followed the FAQ suggestions and tried various rtsp/http/port combinations.

The original link in the .ram file is:
pnm://rm.bbc.net.uk/news/olmedia/1055000/audio/_1055903_actenglish2m.rm?title="Actiong English2m"&author=" Liling"©right="(C) British Broadcasting Corporation"

There is a lot of old content on this site that I would love to download and convert to MP3 - can anyone give me any suggestion on how to get this to work in NetTransport, or suggest another method?

Here is what I've tried...
Thanks in advance!

rtsp://rm.bbc.net.uk:7070/news/olmedia/1055000/audio/_1055903_actenglish2m.rm
