I thought I had already answered it.

The Original Poster's issue is that despite being listed on the AOo
Template site, the templates they would like to use, are not available
for downloading from that site.
Basically, somebody with the appropriate rights, needs to walk through
the Template repository, and either deleting, or marking on the page,
that the template is either no longer distributed by AOo, or was never
available via AOo. (My guess is that between 5% and 10% of the listed
templates are not downloadable, due to one of those two reasons.)

Mike,
It doesn't look like your posting was answered. If not, this may help.
You can put downloaded templates anywhere you want. However, you must
"Import" the template for it to be listed in the templates list. This
is done by choosing File -> Templates -> Organize and in the dialog that
appears, select (double-click) your template folder, probably "My
Templates" or whichever folder you want in the left list panel. Then
under "Commands", there should be an Import Template option. Select
that and a file selection dialog should appear. Search for your new
template and select it, then "Open". Your new template should then
appear in the list of templates (i.e.: New -> Templates and Documents).
I am not sure if you can delete the downloaded template file after it
is imported. I suspect you can, but I am not sure. I have never tested it.
HTH.
