Using FF I was able to go to a website that offered documents to be downloaded in pdf format. I was able to d/l those documents w/o problem. But when I tried the same thing using the URp browser, it was not possible, i.e. errors resulted.
www.ridgefield.org
click 'Ridgefield High School' (tab @ bottom page)
click 'catalogs & handbooks'
click 'program studies'
click on any subject

Granted I'm using IE, but from within the frameset "Program Studies", right-click and Select All, then right-click (within the frameset - do not use the UR menu button) and Send To UR.
From UR, with the "Program Studies" page displayed, right-click on any link and Send To UR, will download the linked pdf.

On the other hand, if after doing a Select All and you use the UR menu button to Send To UR, you end up with the entire home page and the original (first) page in the frameset in UR.
Then from the displayed page in UR, clicking on a link in the frameset will launch the link in an external instance of IE.
Maybe Kinook can address how UR should handle framesets, but beyond that I guess it depends on what you want to capture in UR because even though these frameset links are opening in an external browser, you can still navigate to the page with the pdf links and download them.
