ok firstly I usually download GIMP and gmic from sourceforge. With gmic it must be the gmic_gimp file for your own OS. It opens up a whole new world.
For patterns, you need to open the intended pattern in GIMP and then hit save...you will get an option of how and where to save...go to the bottom and choose GIMP pattern as the save option. It might say...you already have this in the folder because it will give it the same extension most likely....but when you click that and save it, if you look at the pattern folder in application support, you will find it has changed appearance to look like an original wilbur type file, and it will come up in your patterns on GIMP.
I just reread this and didnt think it was clear enough so I added this screenshot
