I managed to get a couple of brush sets from those links. I found the
link that worked was on right hand side about 1/3 way down the page
simply click the word "Download"
worked for Gimp 2.6 as well just extract the files and copy to the
hidden gimp brushes folder in ur linux home folder.
Haven't tried photshop elements yet to see if they work there.

Neither is working for me.
I keep hearing about all this great stuff that is available for Gimp,
but I can't download so much as a logo.
Good thing I know how to make my own brushes -- I can just sit
cross-legged here in the corner and make my own while the rest of you
play nicely together.
Sheesh!

Well, one of my attempts got me something with a .gbr extension,
but putting it in my gimp2.8 brush folder doesn't seem to have
made any difference.
I click on the links at deviantart and nothing seems to happen.
I suppose there is some way to search for brushes on torrents so I
can use transmission, but I don't know how to do that, either.
The instructions at Lifehacker say "just search."
How do you search in transmission? I just know how to start it
from a seed; a seed I download in the usual manner.
I disabled noscript in Firefox and when that didn't help I
installed and tried Chromium. No Joy.
Am I cursed?

Transmission is a program specifically for using bittorrent.
If you
have downloaded a file that is not a .torrent file you don't
need to
use Transmission, you already have the file you want.

Perhaps the file you have downloaded is an archive of some
sort (zip,
rar, gz etc.) that you need to uncompress. I'm not sure
exactly which
tool you would use to do that in xfce (the desktop environment
that
ubuntustudio uses), but you might be able to just right click
on it
(in your downloads folder) and click "extract here" or something
similar.
