This one cites the service I personally use. (That is not an official endorsement, of course.) It mentions what adjustments are recommended to the file provided by these services.
Only if you wish to pursue it further. This thread, though, is complete.
I shall promptly ban myself for spamming.Haha, when I was trying to post last post with quoting you, I was catched by AS filter.
