That's because some1 uploaded a .bas file,.. Browsers normaly look for .exe, .zip, .rar, and several others as downloads, but some files are marked as readable, it thinks it sorta like a website:
You can manually download it tho, Just right-click it and hit "Save Target As.." or some browsers use: "Save Link As..",.. You'll get a Save dialog, same as when you save with a editor, just put in where you want it to go, and bingo.. its downloaded...
Edit: XD... darn.. beatin to it..

e.g. by compiling it into an .exe file or archive the source and/or the executable file.

I know why you're here. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer...<br>
Unfortunately, no one can be told what Qbinux is. You have to see it for yourself.

OK... compiling means to convert into machine code so the computer can understand what is happening. to compile into a .exe, you must first download qb45 from a variaty of places. I use www.qbnz.com. Then open your program in it (after you unzip it) and goto run > make .exe. Choose stand alone exe and press OK. now look in your folder, there ya go.

You have to run QB in pure DOS... in windows I'd advice FreeBasic.

You can run it on windows thru the DOS-Box, but you need to use the .exe not the shortcut.... Thu, if your on a system other than 95/98, its harder to run it I here....
Yeah... FreeBasic is a real good choice, it can run 99% of all QB's apps that lack: PLAY, DEF SEG, and a few others... And if arrow keys are used, CHR$(0) has to be moved to CHR$(255), but not that it seems you'd know what I was on....
If you want to get into coding basic, then try FB Ide + FBC,.. FBC alone is a dog unless you know a bit on commandline usage...
http://fbide.sourceforge.net/
Then a tut to start off with:

And iformation on FB, plus some more tuts, I think...:
