Links starting with www.math.uga.edu seem to be broken. They can be corrected by removing the www part. For example math.uga.edu/~shifrin/ShifrinDiffGeo.pdf and math.uga.edu/~shifrin/ShifrinDiffGeo.pdf or math.uga.edu/~pete/2400full.pdf and math.uga.edu/~pete/2400full.pdf
In facts, this is mentioned in Pete L. Clark's profile. Quote:
NOTE: In Spring 2015 my department adjusted the mechanics of its webpage, which broke a lot of my links. For now, if you see a broken link like math.uga.edu/~pete/inversemw.pdf, try changing it to math.uga.edu/~pete/inversemw.pdf. It should fix the problem.
I considered whether I should first ask somebody related to uga.edu whether there is some hope that the longer links might work again. (In which case I would unnecessarily bump a lot of questions.)
But since now I have discovered that this problem is already from 2015, there is probably no much hope of that.

I am not sure whether something can be done about comments containing such links. I tried to find some of them. However, this query returns a lot of false positives. (Since Text LIKE '%uga%' matches things like conjugate.)

@DanielFischer Have you edited some of them? When I tried a few, I found link starting without www.
@MartinSleziak Yup, edited most, deleted a small number of obsolete ones.

Wow! Thanks for that.
I'd say that the amount of work that moderators do is underrated.
