Hi there,
Okay, after fixing the link so there was no slash before the org part of
the path, here is what I did.
Granted, as stated, I am not using speakup, but if you have links the
chain configured to its best advantage, this sould not be a problem.
by which I mean you have the links are numbered feature turned on. Much
as with lynx the cat, numbering the links lets you skip past images
without issue.
I have no idea which file you desired, there is allot of them.
Still, I used my arrow keys past the things like parent directory and the
like to reach one of the binary images listed.
When I hit entre I got the message
download,
details of the file name is a binary image, would you like to save or
display this file?
Such is what I normally get when downloading, if you move your arrow key
to the right you get an s for save, a d for display, sometimes an extra
like show full headers, and c to cancel the process.
I cannot imagine why speakup would prevent that from working
comparatively.
Indeed the files menu, I hit escape and arrow down, is there, but i am
unsure it is the best choice here. When I am saving a formatted document I
use the files menu. but other files like this one or audio or whatever
hitting the entre key starts the process for me, and I have links are
numbered set so I can reach the desired download.
Does this resonate?

What I did with speakup was to try moving with the tab key onto the
first stage3 link andthat didn't work. So I tried with the arrow keys
and that didn't work either. Speakup said it had worked, but speakup
lied. How I know is the stage3 file ends in .tar.xz and the only thing
links was willing to download was an image file from that location. So
next I left braille terminal alone since I had enabled that before going
into the site and it didn't do anything for me. Finally, I numbered
links in the links configuration settings under html options then saved
those html options two separate menu entries then I keyed in the correct
number for the stage3 file to download and that was the only way links
would get the job done. What's worse, I got no notification that the
download was complete from links.
The other way that's possible is with a bash script where site and
download are two variables defined and using wget with the -bc options
since that way you can know when your download is complete.
You use grep to search wget-log for the word saved and that line will
let you know your file download is complete. No comment on validity of
the download, that's a matter for sha512sum.

How about share the location so others
can see if they have the same download issue?
no idea about speakup, but I use links the chain for downloading often.

I tried downloading a file from a website using links and couldn't
download the file.
Using speakup I was able to cursor onto the desired file or that's what
speakup told me.
However when I tried to download that file I got offered an image file
from another cursor location on the screen I did not want.
I think this is more of a links problem than a speakup problem and am
wondering if it's possible to configure links in some way to clear this
problem.
I don't know what the braille setting would have bought me since I have no
braille display.
As things stand, I had more success with wget and a bash script I wrote.
For that reason I'm going to share this one with the list.
The script could probably be improved by adding a site variable to the
download variable for wget to process but I haven't done that yet.
