You need to download it from GR as a GEDCOM file, and then upload it to some other genealogy programme.

There are lots of possibiities, both free and paid for.

I use Roots Magic.
This link is for the free version, but there are paid versions available too:

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
