Further checking produces .zip files for download. again all from simply
selecting the enter key on the desired option.
I did not correctly provide the message.
It says "unknown type," before stating that the file name is .zip or
whatever. The options are the same however, to save, display or council.

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.
