Server response code : 406

[Circlotron]

I've found a site that I want to download a number of pdf files from. I got the page source and wrote something that extracts all the download links. If I copy and paste any of these extracted URLs into the web browser it works fine, but if I put them into my download manager uGet 2.2.20 it comes up with Server response code : 406.

is there simple way to fix this, e.g. some download manager setting?

That most likely means your download manager is unable to properly handle the content negotiation with the server and the server gives up because it can't serve the format the client is asking for:

Yep, that was it. Tried Free Download Manager instead and all good.
