I just went there with lynx2.8.3dev.16 rapidly and got the directory
listing without any problem. Then I continued to the subdirectory
"v1.4", also without problem. I would note that the listings are quite
short, however. This is the same Lynx that has given me trouble like
you describe.
I've been thinking, maybe the problems I've been having have nothing to
do with Lynx at all, but result from some problem on our network. Our
new firewall was set up by a well-paid nitwit, that's for sure.
