I was trying to download a program, but the site with the download link has some kind of plugin that crashes even firefox, and IE as well, so I was going to use telnet to get the file (or at least the link to it) then remembered linux has a text based browser. So I logged on my server and tried it, and sure enough I managed to get the file quickly and easily. :biglaugh:


Its definately worth checking out this text based browser. Good for lite browsing for when you dont want to be bothered with graphics and stuff, or if a page causes you issues like in my case.

Its probably a good way to surve warez sites too. :evilsmile:
