Whenever I use Lynx to download a patch, I do the following: 1) select the patch 2) right arrow -> (this will show the patch in text format) 3) press p (for print) 4) select save to a local file 5) at the bottom of the screen it shows the name of the file (just press enter) The patch file is then saved properly on my system in my home directory. Years ago, I had this same problem and that was the method someone gave me to save patch files properly with lynx. I don't remember what I was doing wrong back then, but I was also getting 'corrupted' files.
