LOL!
This reminds me of that time I looked at the Apache logs for my website,
and there were 13 hits from Lynx. You know, the text-mode web browser
that nobody ever uses. Like, WTF?

Lynx is very practical for scripting things :).

Another interest of Lynx is the easier interface with blind-enable
computer device (such as transcription of text in Braille, or vocal
synthesis)

I downloaded the .ogg file directly with mplayer. I don't know what kind
of UA string it sends, but it ought to look interesting.
Nowadays it's rarer and rarer to need a text-based browser, but it used to
be much more common in the past. Many servers don't even have a display
card at all, and the only way to do anything with them is with either a
dumb terminal or connecting remotely. Of course nowadays your "terminal"
would usually be a regular PC that you can use to run a normal graphical
browser, but this might not have been the case in the past. (Also, there
*might* be some circumstances where you need to run a browser in-situ,
directly from the server, and the only connection type you have to it
is ssh. Lynx or w3m are the tools for this.)

And almost everything you might have used Lynx for in the past people now
use wget to do.

Which is great, if you actually want the file. If you just want to push
the HTML -source to parserer, lynx -source might be handier. One might
also be intrested of output of lynx -dump.
For example, to get the result numbers of Nordic lottery (Viking-Lotto):
lynx -source http://www.yle.fi/tekstitv/txt/P472_01.html|grep -i
numero|cut -d ">" -f 4|cut -d " " -f 1
This gives you three lines. The first one has the actual numbers, second
one has additional numbers and the last on is called lucky number.
Really easy to handle furthermore :-).

I'd think -dump is more useful than -source, given that wget is happy to
write the results to stdout. :-)

Makes a lot of sense actually. Though never thought of it, since lynx
-source still works ;-). Of course, wget -qO- is 3 chars shorter than
lynx -source and therefore saves expensive bytes.
