You don't need Synapse if you only need to download a file. FPC
provides a HTTP client:

function DownloadText(const URL: string): TStrings;
var
  client: TFPHTTPClient;
  doc: TStringList;
begin
  Result:=nil;
  doc:=TStringList.Create;
  client:=TFPHTTPClient.Create(nil);
  try
    client.Get(URL,doc);
    Result:=doc;
    doc:=nil;
  finally
    doc.Free;
    client.Free;
  end;
end;
