Can't see any problem, I just download a couple of Pat. families and works great.

In that family click on "Download Now" button but If your download does not begin in 15 seconds, click on "Click Here" button to download.

You don't import these directly into Revit.  You have to save the pat file then create a custom fill pattern in revit and load that file.

downloading pat files on here is sometimes tricky depending on your internet browser, I think its because pat files are just text files. After you hit download and get to the "thanks for downloading screen"; click the button I've circled in the attached image. For me, this opens up the text document in my google chrome browser. Now select all the text, Ctrl+C to copy, then open up notepad and Ctrl+V to paste. Now just save the file, be sure to give it the .pat extension. Now you should be able to import it into your Revit Project.

I'm not saying this is the best way but it should work in a pinch.
