in MMF, use the FTP object to download it first. obviously you'd need FTP access to the site to do this. i don't know how you'd do it with TGF.

You can get one of the download objects (super download object). Then get download object to open up:
www.thesite.com/something.txt
and then put in another textfile extension into your game\app to read it. This doesn't require FTP access, but I'm not sure if you can find the object for TGF.
