Error : javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Connection reset (Specific Website only)

Question

Kind Attn Moderators: Before marking this query as duplicate, please note I have checked these questions...

...and was unable to fix the issue. Also I believe the context & error is different from those, thus seeking help here.

Context: Download a csv file from NSEIndia website to a local folder (Note: Am able to download CSV files from other random websites).

Issue: Returns an error - javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Connection reset (Full error pasted below)

Observation: I am perplexed, as I faced this same issue yesterday, but after a couple of retries, it worked. I made no changes to code or settings.

Question: Is there anything I can do from my end to ensure this error is not seen with this specific website ?

Code:

// Using FileUtils from -> import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
try {
        FileUtils.copyURLToFile(new URL("https://www.nseindia.com/content/fo/fo_mktlots.csv"),new File("D:\\Download\\t1.csv"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Error:

this website accepts a limited set of cipher suites and only TLS 1.2. Try configuring your client to use a compatible version and set of ciphers. I won't check in the source code, but I bet on _SSLHandshakeException_ being raised but covered by _SSLException_. — Eugène Adell, Dec 14 '19 at 08:11
TLS 1.2 example [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38118397/setting-ssl-version-with-fileutils-copyurltofile) — vhoang, Dec 14 '19 at 13:31
Update - Tried the suggestion of @vhoang but it dint work in this case. Also I notice the website allows the program to download file from afternoon till late evening only (manually can download any time). I suspect the website is under some redevelopment & hence this behavior. My knowledge of SSL is very basic & hence not sure if I can fix this at my end. Will continue to search to see if I can get this working. Thanks — iCoder, Dec 19 '19 at 11:11
