Downloading with lynx

Hi there!
I one saw a command that allowed to download a file using lynx from an HTTP server without opening lynx itself.
Looked something like this:

$ lynx -xyz http://localhost/foo.bar ~/foo.bar
I looked into lynx manpages and help but didn't find anything.

Thank you in advance

from the lynx man page:
- dump dumps the formatted output of the default document or one specified on the command line to standard output.

so it looks like this command would work as such:
lynx -dump http://anypageyouwant.com/index.html > index.html

also, more straightforward method would be to use the wget command.
