I searched for "M16" and downloaded one manual. Then searched for next
hit. When trying to download i got:

It looks like I screwed up something, as usual. I will check.

I just downloaded several manuals.

Thanks iggy

What I found out is that I had a bug and no one could download manuals
that have -and- in the name. These are usually manuals like
TM-X-YYYY-ZZ-QQ&P or some such that have the "&" character.

So I fixed that.

Just in case, I also increased the daily and per-minute limits
greatly, but I would like to scale them back down, to 100 per day and
10 per minute.

I will probably do it again.

Once more, my point is to liberate the manuals, not to make one more
website that charges for them or restricts their circulation. So, feel
free to repost them where you want, sell them, etc.

I do appreciate that. My efforts to collect info on .223 and .308 semi
auto rifles has ended up costing a fair bit. More than once, I've been
scammed into paying for a very small amount of information.

Guess I'm a slow learner. Or at least P.T. Barnum's friend.
