Nothing seems to actually be downloading. 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? Pete
