Tested it with links 2.13. It works ok.

Yes, I'm with Anatoly. Some browsers accept encrypted or compressed
content and then try to display it. I've tried lynx (GPL2),wget (GPL3) but
curl (MIT) with minimum options does the trick nicely.
I use curl in place of fetch, so in a make.conf there's
FETCH_CMD= /usr/local/bin/curl

If you wish text console only, no graphics needed. Under x11 it's nice
fast simple graphical browser when

Curl is tricky to get right from the command line, I tried.
I have no recent experience with links. Should I build with graphics, without
graphics, or build links1?
Lynx and w3m people hide the
If you wish console browser, try links
if you wish http get tool, try curl

I tried fetch, but got something entirely different, the stuff on the web page,
but not the desired file.
File compression, such as PKZIP, Infozip, gzip, bzip2,
I don't use lynx (text-mode web browser) much, but have run into a problem that
I never had before.
Lynx, and also w3m, download what are supposed to be text files and then I see
the gzip'ed version on the hard drive.
Lynx used to download files as is!
I looked through "man lynx", also
