Why not just try downloading the html file in its source form, renaming it
with the html encoding visible and save it with a htm or html extension?

As regards my dumb question, I asked on the lynx development list. The
reply was that the problem was probably a server bug. The html file is
probably stored uncompressed and compressed on the fly, incorrectly or
at least not the way gunzip expects it.

Hi!
Now to my dum question.
How would one know the exact link for a file to download from with Wget?
I can google it of course but i ask here first.
Thanks.

Probably the whole file didn't download and without that -c switch wget would not have continued trying to download if it got disconnected.

I'm trying to unzip the Cygwin User Guide located at the link "One
large compressed html file". However, when I download the file and
type gunzip filename
I get garbage. The man page doesn't enlighten me. So please answer
this dumb question: how do i get a good html file?
I'm not sure what happened to your file, but I just performed the
following two commands:
wget -c https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html.gz
unzip cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html.gz
and was left with a "cygwin-ug-net-nochunks.html" file in the
directory that I could browse with any of multiple browsers.
