I tried mimms mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/h2g3_episode1.asf
but it did not work on ppc.
output is
host : >wm.bbc.co.uk<
port : >1755<
path : >radio4/hitchhikers/h2g3_episode1.asf<
file : >h2g3_episode1.asf<
time : >-1<
creating output file 'h2g3_episode1.asf'
port: 000006db
request: Connection timed out
created a file with 0 byte and nothing more
