Can't find stage3 tarball

So I downloaded the 'stage3-i686-20090714.tar.bz2 via lynx, now I cant find it.

Is there a default location where lynx downloads are located?

Cheers

argghh ok, that's really weird because it WAS downloading to someplace...

Isn't there usually a folder lynx saves DL's to?

The commands for d/ling in links and lynx differ!
With lynx ,if I remember correctly, when it finishes d/ling it asks where to save under what name.

do you have another box so as to be able to do the install over SSH?

If so, it would be far easier to simply snag the link in a regular web browser, then wget the file by
