I wonder what is making it do that vs other I-patches that don't do that. Either way thanks for the tips! I've never messed with an IDE so I'll have to look into that a bit moreI think its probably to do with line endings being different on windows machines and mac machines. (basically line numbers being different depending on Operating System). I don't think I can fix this. However, you might. since you have a mac.
The way that might fix it: open the files you've downloaded in an IDE thats supported on mac, Xcode i think. and then just save and go to the next. repeat for all files
it might fix it, it might not, I'm not sure since I don't have mac. Sorry for problems
