I will guess that you are using Windows or this would be so much simpler.It is not really that difficult, I found a video on yootoob that explains the Deviant Art one.

I would get them from sourceforge or better yet, GIMP.
One is the MAN page, Windows use to have them.
But I am not here to argue that.
This link from SCGlider explains what the most possible error is, to install or add brushes you cannot yet willy nilly just install a brush, you have to install all brushes in one package.
That is what that video shows, notice that the GIMP Data folder that the brushes were placed in was empty. That is kinda important.
The brush collection is a file, the file is like almost any file, it is a file.
takeshi677 explains this, sorta.
The brushes file has to be extracted on Windows, gzipped or whatever on GNU/Linux or a *nix like system.
You may want to use 2.6.x , it is the most recent stable release.
In *nix circles, Odd # is usually a BETA and Even is a Stable, example; v1.3 is a Beta, v2.2 is Stable.In the same aspect, v0.1 is Alpha, v0.1 is Beta and v0.2 is Stable.
GIMP is at 2.7 wich is the next step to v2.8 wich will be a stable release.
Look at GNU/FSF or the FSF/UNESCO directory for alot of that stuff. Sourceforge is also a good repository.
