My lynx puts downloaded files in the current directory where I have started
the browser. So if you have been in some strange place in your filesystem it
might be difficult to find the file. If you have installed "locate" from
package "findutils" you could try "locate my_file" but run updatedb or
/etc/cron.daily/find beforehand.

Sometimes lynx messes up my downloads. I prefer using "wget" for big files and
I can highly recommend it. It even can continue interrupted http-downloads on
the next day.
