Quick video tut for you...
Download this quick 5 minute video tutorial I did on this subject
https://www.ragecgi.com/public/ImportShaders.zip
About 3.5 Meg.
For those who don't want to download the vid:
Simply place all of your downloaded shaders into a folder,
and when you want to use them in Maya on an object, do this:
1. Open the Hypershade
You can find this by going to: Window > Rendering Editors > Hypershade
2. Then, when the Hypershade opens, go to FILE > Import.
3. Browse to your folder of shaders, and choose one.
4. The chosen shader will appear in the big Materials area.
5. Select your object(s).
6. In the hypershade, RIGHT-CLICk over your imported shader,
and choose "Asign Materials to Selection".
That's it!
Enjoy!

When next you want to use it, in the Hypershade, File > Import...
Choose the .mb or .ma file and it'll add the material network to your list...
Not too tough.
