I'm on Comcast. Comcast has problems, but that's not one of them.

The only repeatable clue I've seen was the size of the mime.types file -
lynx was Accept'ing all of it. The current lynx code makes that more
configurable (and by default turns off most of it).
The current version of lynx is 2.8.5
It's available at
ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx/lynx2.8.5/
2.8.6 Development & patches:
