Solution

picoCTF is a VERY beginner friendly CTF and this must be one of the easiest challenges ever.

As suggested in the hints use either wget or your browser (Right-click and select Save link as...) to download the flag file.

Then use cat (on Linux), type (on Windows) or any text editor to view the flag.
