Hi,

you can import your data as "Table" and then you only have to rearange
it a bit to plot it:

data = Import["~/CO/data.txt", "Table"];
buildData[{fst_, rest__}] := {fst, #} & /@ {rest};
ListPlot[Transpose[buildData /@ data], Joined -> True]

Cheers
Patrick

(you have to substitute of course my path in the Import statement)
