How do I get brushes to GIMP?

Well, I've been trying to get some brushes that I downloaded into GIMP. Now don't go saying " go get t3h photoshoperz!!!" because quite frankly, I tried downloading the illegal versions and got caught by Charter, and I can't download any more trials. I also followed the instructions on the readme.txt documents, but none of them were successful. In case you were wondering I have GIMP 2.0.0.08, or something like that.

 

You must download a brush, and extract. You must find a folder called "Brushes" when you click the Gimp Main File. You have to extract the brush to the folder called "Brushes".
