"Problem" is in the eye of the beholder.
It's a text file, and it is stored in the normal text format for
the UNIX system on which you found it. But you should not be
concerned with what the format is; you only need to know it is a
text file, and therefore transfer it in text mode. Then it will
arrive on your PC in the correct format and it will work as
advertised.
It's too bad all computers can't store files in the same format.
