There are some (at least one anyway) mirrors of lynx hosted on large
mirror services which already have rsync support:

$ rsync --list-only rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/lynx.isc.org

Welcome to the University of Kent's UK Mirror Service

More information can be found at our web site: http://www.mirrorservice.org/
Please send comments or questions to address@hidden

Please use rsync.mirrorservice.org for rsync access rather than
ftp.mirrorservice.org.
