i have adobe 4.0 and i was wonderin if you could download brushes for it and if so from where. thanks

4.0 for what? Elements or Photoshop (or etc..?) ?

photoshop 4.0 is an older version, and most of the time I go to one the listed sites in the Big Book of..I get a 'will only work with 7.0 or higher'
try searching specifically for 4.0..
if you mean PS, that is..

I have Elements 2..CS and CS2, so I can't really help you..sorry..

Google is your friend.

Of course, it is probably far easier to just make your own... Or perhaps use the stamps that are sometimes provided with certain brushes on some of the more recent sites.
