	You need a program on your computer to import the tree into. You can get a free one on the LDS familysearch site or you can buy a Family Tree Maker program or other from sites like twr computing.(The family tree maker often comes with a free sub for a month or even 3 with ancestry - worth every penny). Having said that I cant see how you could download someone elses tree on here - they would have to send you the gedcom surely.
