I wouldn't use lynx. It's a web browser. Besides this may be a two page operation, post data to one page, save cookies, load another page with the given cookies...

You'll need to inspect the source of the webpage to see what page to submit what data to, and the manpage of wget to see how to save and load cookies. For more detail I'd need to pick apart the source of the webpage myself.
Thanks for your help. Once I've found the form in the source I won't know what to do with it. The webpage is torrentday.com
