Thank You, Thomas! I am quite relieved to know Lynx is still alive and
well! I empathize with the pain of server hardware failure and so hope
they can get it back up and running for you again soon. Thank you so much
for your hard work and dedication to maintaining Lynx! Your software has
made a tremendous difference to me, to my husband and to many of my
friends. We are blind and found it so much more enjoyable to use than
other browsers with our screen readers, that it played a prominent role in
kindling my passion for computer science, open source and Linux (which is
now what I in turn support to earn my daily bread). Thank you, sincerely!
You have made a great positive difference in our lives with this software.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
I have noticed the Lynx web site at lynx.isc.org has been down for a
while, but can't find any information on why. I am hoping it is still an
active project and so wanted to check.
It's been down since the 11th or 12th of this month (I scraped a copy of
the most recent mirrors.html from a google crawl dated the 11th). I noticed
it was down on the 13th, and was told by the guy in charge of the
system that it had a disk failure. Not to nag him, I intend checking
tomorrow to see what progress has been made.
I have a copy of the ftp mirrors on my home machine, as well as the source
archives, so it's mainly a matter of finding if that server will be useful
again - takes time.
(I spent about 2/3 of last week working on lynx, along with the usual
diversions into other programs...).
Thank you sincerely for all of your hard work on the best browser to ever
exist! I mean it. I don't know of another one that comes close and so use
it 90% of the time.
