I believe FEN only represents the current position. You need to dowload PGN for the whole game.

I used to be able to download FEN's - Now when I try doing that, my computer tries to download it as a .pdf file. Any ideas on how to fix that problem?

You don't download FEN, just PGNs. But if they are opening with a PDF viewer, it's something on your system doing it.

What operating system are you using? Most chess programs let you input FENs using copy and paste.
