I have been having the same problem for a few weeks now.

I have been downloading BBC .ra from .ram files for a couple of years with no problems.

Now I get a write to file error on Windows XP Pro [Main PC] and XP home [Notebook].

I use NetTransport normally - I have tried NetTransport v.1nn and v2.nn both giving problems.

Have also tried Orbit but still getting corrupted downloads.

Either MS have changed a setting in Windows - which seems most likely, or the providers are all using a different format

Used to be able to convert to MP3 via StreamBox Ripper but not any more.

Looks like the answer will not be found here, can anyone suggest a place to look for it?

Best
