I think it is the DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE parameter in /etc/lynx.cfg for two reasons: 1. It appears to default to 10 2. It says the "minimum allowed value is 2, for the current document and at least one to fetch." I would tend to guess that it might want to hold all the documents in cache until it reaches a final URL. Before modifying the lynx.cfg file, the easy way is to try the command line argument -cache=NUMBER. For example, lynx -cache=10 wouldn't help because 10 is the existing limit. I hope this helps, Patrick
