I could download 'devon_thebarton_56.rm' with Orbit Downloader (Grab++
active): http://www.orbitdownloader.com/ . I suggest you disable its
p2p module (orbitnet.exe), either by renaming or deleting it and/or by
instructing your firewall to block its incoming and outgoing
connections.

It's a 300 KB .rm file with a tiny screen. I can play the file with
MPC/Real Alternative and SMPlayer. Get a video format converter if you
want it in mpg or a different format.
