No need to apologize for that, but you need to describe your problem
better.

What operating system are you using?

What version of lynx?  Did you compile it yourself?  If not, where
did you get it?

Are you using a proxy?

How do you try to download?  (with the 'd' key, or with 'lynx -source'
or 'lynx -dump'?)

Can you give a URL?  Does it happen with other http: documents that are
longer than 68456 bytes?

How does lynx "stop"?  What exactly happens?
