How to prevent \url from removing the spaces in a path?

The url I want to put in \url{} is http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~peterf/MSc%20Examples%208.pdf

The %20 in the url above are actually spaces. How can I type this in LaTeX so that it can be copied and pasted into a browser straight from the pdf?

Welcome to TeX.SX. A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they're marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button ({}). – Claudio Fiandrino Jan 2 at 13:49

I believe that the URL with %20 is the safest mode for copy-paste. – egreg Jan 2 at 13:53
