Probably a "duh" situation. I did a google search, but didn't find anything. Think I may have solved this on one system last year, but forget how. A new lynx install on Debian Woody (stable), can not properly handle binary file downloads. For example, if I go to an URL containing a tar.gz file, instead of seeing: Application/gzip d)ownload or c)ancel I get: "/tmp/tYRd4q/L6434-10TMP.gz" may be a binary file. See it anyway? /etc/mime.types advises against using it to specify types for compression schemes, and in trying to use it for that, it made no difference. How do I convinse lynx (v2.8.4rel1, by the way) to treete these as files to be saved, not files to be sent through less? Thanks Luke
