I decided to investigate this one since I'm a console-junkie and use elinks a good bit.

I was able to reproduce this by doing the following:

1) Downloaded the fdoxnews.com site with the following command: wget -rl1 -HkE www.fdoxnews.com
2) Pointed elinks at it. Page displays correctly.
3) Edited the index.html to change the %3F entities with regular ?s.
4) Pointed elinks at it. Elinks complains as follows:
Unable to retrieve file:///home/steve/testing/www.fdoxnews.com/index.html:
No such file or directory

This is definitely a misleading error. Note that I am using elinks 0.12~pre5-1ubuntu2 on Karmic.
