Hi, Tony: I haven't downloaded from sf in the past few days, but I've downloaded many many files over the years with lynx. I have not had problems. I wonder if there's some temporary glitch with the mirrors? Usually, the sequence is something like: 1.) Identify the file to download and activate the link; 2.) Select the mirror to use. Note that there are two links per mirror, one about the mirror and the other a pointer to the actual download at that mirror. You must choose the second of these two.. 3.) You'll be sent to a redirect which usually stops lynx. Activating the link, or just pressing 'd' for download in lynx, usually brings the file down. hth. Tony Baechler writes: > Hi all.
