lynx get stuck (sort of...it's an annoyance)
i'm writing because when i visit web pages in lynx and when i press on a link who's not working,lynx patiently wait for the server to answer (witch can take a very long time sometime) and i cannot do anything except doing the CTRL-C boogie and when i do so,i lose my page (and often,i dont remember the URL of the page in question),does there is a way for configuring lynx so that after a time it say an error message that the server doesn't answer and recover from being stuck ???
