Gibberish files opening in TextEdit on MacBook Air

I've downloaded a few files from the internet and when I open them they come out on TextEdit.

The files are all gibberish, so I can't read it.

My settings are on Automatic..I changed to UTF-8..still the same

I changed them to Plain Text …no change
