There's no easier way, you have to follow the directions and download
it from the sun.com website.  That's what sun decided people have to
do to get their product, so there's nothing we can do about it.

lynx should have worked though, I'd double-check you didn't overlook
the download link.  Or, try another browser like w3m, which is what I
always use to download it.
