Hi Chime,
May I ask why you cannot direct lynx to download to a specific location?
Clearing the cache will likely not influence things. That tends to be
best when cookies that normally get you into a site are failing.
Is it possible to download fewer at once, to see if the no space left in
device message remains?

Hi All: While I am at an easynews site downloading binaries, after saving at
least a gig's worth of 171mb files. I then get a message saying "filewriter, no
space left on device" So I figured, if I could clear my cache? But in reading,
Might be temporary directory size. Often, /tmp is not as large as
other spaces. lynx honours the TMPDIR environment variable, but for
downloading large files, I’d use wget, as lynx insists on downloading
to the tmpdir, then storing the potentially decompressed file in a
second step.
