Subject: Lynx download parameter error

Hi all.  A while ago, I came across a situation while downloading with 
lynx.  There's a password protected site I need to be able to use to pick 
up some mp3 files we use for programming on our rrs.  It's certainly very 
texty and seems straightforward via lynx.  You enter username and 
password, and I get in, seeing the files that are there.  If I hit enter 
on the link, or even d to download it, I get the plain and simple message 
"parameter error", but no idea what parameter.  Before I do enter the 
site, that is, after entering the password, I do get a message saying "url 
is not absolute", but then it immediately does continue letting me in.  I 
had someone try via internet exploder, and of course they could indeed get 
the files, but since I have no windows, I don't wanna go that route.  I 
know the folks who do this site, and I'd like to be able to explain to 
them what parameter needs tweaking.  Any ideas??  Thanks.  Is there 
something in lynx options that needs settings??
