Also, If you are downloading the file via FTP/SFTP and before opening in
Notepad, be sure you aren't transfering the file as binary. When you
transfer a file as ASCII, most clients will convert line endings for you.

From the vim manual :
You can use the 'fileformat' option to convert from one file format to
another. Suppose, for example, that you have an MS-DOS file named
README.TXT
that you want to convert to UNIX format. Start by editing the MS-DOS
format
file:
vim README.TXT
Vim will recognize this as a dos format file. Now change the file
format to
UNIX:
:set fileformat=unix
:write
The file is written in Unix format.
http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/usr_23.html
unix, dos, and mac are the options available for fileformat
Hope that helps,
