Once downloaded component file from BCL, how can I access this in OpenStudio?

For some reason the building component library has stopped downloading files from within the OpenStudio Application. When I click "Components and Measures" and then "Find Components" and access the BCL this way, whenever I select a material and click download, the loading bar just whirrs away forever. I can however download the zip file from the BCL website, but I don't know where to put this file so that I can access it in the OpenStudio Application. I tried pasting it into the ~/BCL folder but that did not seem to work.

Does anyone have any pointers? I'm a bit stuck without it!

Cheers
