it probably makes no difference here,
but the latest Lynx is 2-8-2 from  www.slcc.edu/lynx/release/ .

there's a misformed HREF:

<A
HREF="/foo/../7PM%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3CDIR%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20pu
+b"
>7PM       <DIR>          pub</A>

probably, you should take it up with the site management.
