·  How do I download any real audio or real video file?

There's a little manipulation needed for you to be able to download the real audio files:

1. save the F.A.I.R. html page to your computer, for example this one:
http://www.ismaili.net/fair/audio/fair_chl.html

2. open this local file in wordpad and replace all occurences of '.ram' with '.ra'

3. open this local file in your web browser

4. Now, you can right-click on a song link and choose save-as and save the song on your computer.
