Hello, I was doing some updates on a local linux machine and went to get a fresh copy of lynx. I have been unable to reach the site content at lynx.isc.org. I decided to try and debug whether it was my internet flaking out, and tried from an alternate internet source and could still not make a connection.
It appears from a traceroute that everything reaches isc.org alright. From my position the error seems to be somewhere in between: int-0-0-1-0.r1.sql1.isc.org [149.20.65.10] and lynx.isc.org [149.20.54.242]. After some careful searches I was able to find a mirror site at: http://artfiles.org/lynx.isc.org/ It claims to have updated yesterday ("last mirrored: Fri Oct 14 20:00:22 CEST 2011"), so I assume the inability to connect to lynx.isc.org is quite recent. I noticed something else strange while validating the version I was trying to download (the most recent 2.8.7 archive). Here are the results of md5sum on the three files I grabbed from the mirror, which indicates to me that the file "lynx2.8.7.tar.bz2" is referring to rel.1 instead of rel.2. 493af4c77ef6761e3f0157cd1be033a0 *lynx2.8.7.tar.bz2 493af4c77ef6761e3f0157cd1be033a0 *lynx2.8.7rel.1.tar.bz2 cb936aef812e4e463ab86cbbe14d4db9 *lynx2.8.7rel.2.tar.bz2 A little more searching dug up this thread from the mailing list: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2011-06/msg00003.html So it would seem that this issue has managed to creep up again somehow. In addition to the above, the email address listed at lynx.browser.org ([email protected]) also appears to be experiencing technical difficulties as the provider has rejected this message originally aimed at that address. the browser.org site itself appears to be in tact. I hope this information is helpful in resolving these issues.
