I blindly tried for 4 hours to download via a 33.6kps slip connection
and I got exactly the same results you people are talking about.
Anyway I decided to log into a machine that has a direct T3
connection and I then got the whole 5Mb file in a few minutes.

In both situations I was using Lynx (though my version of lynx at home
is a lot more recent than the one my ISP has).

As a user of DRDOS 6 and NWDOS 7, this is very long awaited for me.
