If the only problem is the name that lynx chooses - you probably
haven't set up mime types right.  You should have something
like this in the relevant mime.types or .mime.types file:

    audio/x-pn-realaudio            ra rm ram

You may have to change there order of the suffixed; it seems
lynx uses the last one for generating the temp filename.
Also check that the mIME type sent by the server is actually
audio/x-pn-realaudio (try ']' HEAD).

Of course you could always write a little script around the script
that just renames or copies the file.
