Hmm... I had never noticed that one, myself... I always set it to KB/ETA, but never
payed enough attention to the option that I could turn it off... Whenever I have to
dial up (phone lines here are terrible) and get a nice (speedy here) 28.8K connection
and have a large download to do with lynx, I just run lynx under screen and switch to
another "window" while it does its work. (Usually just sitting at a ksh prompt.)
I can then save it to disk for Z/Y/ZModem transfer later (after I quit screen... can't
transfer files from it ;) while continuing all of my normal activities as if lynx
isn't running in a ssh window.
Just what I do. Now I see that it's the hard way though... ;)
