I think you may not have waited long enough for the page to finish 
loading. IIRC you use a dial-up connection. Here, on 8Mb ADSL, it took 
about 2 minutes for the Sourceforge page to finish loading and 
display.

I tested it on Firefox 3 on Windows, and it loaded much quicker, 
however there are large chunks of JavaScript which are used for a 
fancy tabbed display. I reckon NetSurf makes a decent fist of 
displaying such rubbish, but it is slow.

BTW, I heartily endorse your feature request... ;)
