| Hi!
| 
| 
| "A lot of people" in the sense that doing a google search I found
| "many" questions about this issue. In any case I will try to
| investigate, especially when I will update Linux to the latest
| versions.
| 
| 
| 
| Thank you for your patience,
| Fabio.
| 

no problem (I'm looking for something that I can reproduce, so I can see when 
it's fixed).

| | 
| | My scripts works only using some internal data.. Besides, the lynx
| | "waiting" is random.. Usually I have no problems.
| | But I know there is a lot of people that says to have issues using
| | -connect-timeout option.
| | 
| I don't see a "lot of people". Here's an example - old:
| 
| http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2008-11/msg00000.html
| 
| (perhaps it's related to the platform you are using - I don't know)
