I'll try it.  My expectation is that it will work just fine *once it
starts*.
That is my experience with downloading using a browser.
In the case of wget, the issue will be typinng the command.
Suggestion for a file?  A Centos iso perhaps?
I'd look for it with a browser,  but it might take a while.

What is an elink?

To handle my centos mail,
I ssh to the server with my mail and run alpine
as the ordinary user that I am.
ssh is running from virtual teminal 2
while virtual terminal 1 is crawling.

elinks is a text mode browser,  as is links, and the venerable lynx

This, with your earlier complaints about resolving Amazon ad service DNS, makes
me think it?s DNS-related.

Are you using your ISP?s DNS servers?  Are all of them correct?  You mentioned
you changed ISPs recently, did you switch to the new ISP?s DNS?  What happens if
you set your DNS to the Quad9[1] DNS server, 9.9.9.9?

elinks does not seem to be working for me.
I typed in google.com as my first url.
There seems to be no way out of google,
nor any way further in.
No place to type a url.
What appears to be the search window is black and does not accept input.
Oops.  Now I seem to have clicked on google help or something.
There seems no way to back up.
Ok.  Found the left arrow.
Still no way to search or to get out of google (except quit).

How do I adjust my DNS?
As noted, my problem has survived a change in ISPs,
but they could both be wrong.
