You can convert it in Pharo, of course:
(FileLocator desktop / 'mots.txt') writeStreamDo: [ :out |
out << (ZnCharacterEncoder latin1 decodeBytes:
(ZnClient new
beBinary;
get:
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SquareBracketAssociates/LearningOOPWithPharo/master/resources/listeDeMotsFrancaisFrGut.txt'))
].
You just take the string as it is in Pharo and write it out to a file, it is by
default utf-8 encoded.
