I haven't studied to see how much work it would be to support the reporting aspect.The file downloading works perfectly. The transfer from /tmp/lynx* to the ultimate location drove me to hard link something to work around the copy overhead on a system with a different /home filesystem, but that's tolerable, and I suppose configurable with a tmp dir setting.
yes - the copying from the temp-directory can be annoying. Perhaps we could implement something that adds a hardlink to the target file (marking the temp-file as "used") if that works. iirc, we can't simply rename it since the code assumes the file is still present in the temp-directory. -- Thomas E.
