Some websites offer direct link downloads that are recognized as PHP format files. Such as https://www.ghxi.com/bulkcrapuninstaller.html

Hi there. when you encounter that filename's extension changed to html that means that download manager can't download that file. (web server return a webpage instead of the actual file)

I tried to reproduce your problem but unfortunately I couldn't

however It could be due to two things

link requires some headers/cookies/credentials

if you use browser extension to capture the download , the extension handle this automatically and it should work (unless there is a bug)

Resource Restriction

maybe you are using a proxy in your browser but not in the app in that case you should do this in the app too.
