may i have an example of your goals?
If i understand you, you want to select an item for download, bypass all protections in between, and find that item on your desktop. speaking personally, I can think of many reasons why that extra step as it is, is more helpful than a problem.
let's say that  as presented, the file you desire has an actual name of
http://sniffles#7jile8#rivhelhsjieli128r3cr.mp3
What the extra step lets you do is change that file name to something like sniffles.mp3 without all the extra characters and the risk that because the actual file name begins with something that may conflict, you end up with the file you desire where you desire it, with a name that is easy to locate.
You do not want that option at all?
Personally, its a saving grace for me because many many many times the file to download has a name with no relationship to its actual contents.

want lynx to direcyly download file with proper extension 
directly bypassing save to disk option. Please help. Provide some solution.
