What's up with Lynx Browser Org?

[Nicolai P. Zwar]

Odd, but when I go to http://www.lynx.browser.org/ in order to download
their latest browser version, I just get directed to a page that offers
me a free (yeah, right) lifetime membership for a bunch of suggestive
video chat rooms. What's up here? Have they been hacked? Is that their
new sponsorship? Have I been to the wrong page?

I should add that when you go to http://lynx.browser.org/, first there
appears a regular Lynx page, but none of their links work, except for
"Lynx links", which leads to said video chat page.

I was there yesterday and noticed the Porn too!

Assuming you are trying to download for a windows system, you could try
either of these two links:

http://web.tiscali.it/csant/lynx.htm

http://lynx.isc.org/ has been down for a couple of days as well.

Just checked it out and it works for me. Must be a server side issue,
or a malformed link, or a virus.

Sincerely,

Works for me, no porn, must be a server side issue, or you have a
malformed link?

Hmmm... really, it's working for you? How odd. I just checked it again,
and I still get the same Web Cam Site... strange. The link found at
www.lynx.browser.org to download the Lynx browser directs me --
supposedly -- to http://www.trill-home.com/lynx.html (which is what it
says in the source code), but when I click on that link I get a web cam
"amateur" porn page. Always and still.

I get the same. But you can download Lynx from here:

I happened to notice it was down about a week ago and sent mail to the
person who runs it.
