If you know that it is a "download link", just use 'd' instead if
Return/Enter.

For FTP, Lynx doesn't know which files are binary and which are text
files, except by the file extension, and the default assumption is
that a file with an unknown extension is plain text (sol lynx tries
to display it directly).  You may add mappings for file extensions
in your mime.types file (see lynx.cfg for its location), or see SUFFIX
in lynx.cfg.
