Lynx is the wrong tool for this.  The standard text mode tools for this 
are wget and curl.  Even GUI users often use these as they are resilient 
against connection failures.  They may need some work to transfer 
cookies from the HTML part of the site, if the resources are protected 
by cookie based logins, but they are still the right tools for large 
files which can't be directly rendered.  (They are command line tools, 
not even character cell ones.)
