It could be that you are downloading the file as binary when it should be text
or vice versa.  Try both and see what happens...

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.  Not a nasty, dirty, wet
hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry,
bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a
hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
