What did you download? The c-source code?
Making that +x won't help. You have to compile it first:
gcc <programname>
The result is "a.out". You can keep that or make that another name:
mv a.out sensible_name
Then chmod +x sensible_name
After that you have to
./sensible_name (note the ./ at the start) to make things run.
Good luck!
