Try defining the environment variable LYNX_TEM_SPACE.
The value has to end in a /, for example
        LYNX_TEMP_SPACE=$HOME/tmp/
        export LYNX_TEMP_SPACE

Are you referring to defining a downloader in lynx.cfg?
The comments in lynx.cfg give examples of downloaders.
I use the following downloader in my lynx.cfg.
This is almost identical to the one in the comment, except that I use sz -b
instead of sz.
DOWNLOADER:Use Zmodem to download to the local terminal:set %s 
%s;td=/tmp/Lsz$$;mkdir $td;ln -s $1 $td/"$2";sz -b $td/"$2";rm -r $td:TRUE
Which downloaders you define depends on waht protocol you use to download
from unix to your PC.
