gbr (or a couple of other possibilities) is what you want. Have you
seen this page? http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-brushes.html

Actually I'd be surprised if you found many brushes on torrent sites
(Bittorrent is generally used for large files which would use up a lot
of bandwidth, so sharing the load of distributing makes more sense).

It sounds like you've had at least some success downloading a .gbr
file but haven't managed to get it to show up in GIMP yet, does the
link I gave above help at all with that?
