Does anybody know how to download binary files with LYNX?

The default must be ASCII, because I can download text files fine.

How do you set/change it to binary download mode?

Any help appreciated...

"It's a thrilling sensation, but it poses a serious threat to your driver's
 license, suggests an invincibility that can turn out to be an illusion,
 and repeatedly creates speed differentials that catch other road users by
 surprise."

"...the Turbo's livery makes no bones about the car's true intentions."

"It accelerates like a catapult, it brakes with mind-boggling magnetism,
 and it corners so vigorously that your neck hurts after a day's hard
 driving."
