Follow-up Comment #3:

This URL(s) within the .ram/.ra file likely points to some audio stream - it
might be a radio station with changing (and endless !) content.
'Downloading' the contents could easily lead to a 'hanging' wget. That is
perhaps not what you want.
--spider could at least 'check' that URL.
And the ICY-Metadata HTTP header makes a difference since the remote side
likely is a shoutcast server.

BTW, there are lot's of other file formats that contain URLs.
E.g. Wget2 reads URLs from sitemaps and sitemap catalogs (compressed or
uncompressed), from Atom and RSS feeds.
There is also examples/getstream.c that 'downloads' URLs (streams) from .ram,
.m3u, .wax, .asx, .pls, .xspf (audio/x-mpegurl, audio/x-pn-realaudio,
application/pls+xml, audio/x-scpls, application/xspf+xml).
