Hi, Tina! Normally the downloaded module will be a single archive file, which you would have to extract to make a folder.

It's not clear exactly where the process is going wrong in your case. Could you post what operating system you are using, the exact steps you took and what you saw when you were done?
Right, I've installed other modules. After you unzip them they are a folder with lots of files in them. When I unzip the date module, it's just ONE file, no folder.
I have a PC. I navigate to this module page:
http://drupal.org/project/date
download the 6.x-2.4 version. It's a zipped file. When I unzip it, I've got just one file named: date-6.x-2.4 and it doesn't appear to have a file extension as I have my computer set to show all file extensions, and this has none. My explore folder says the file type is "4 File" whatever that is.
And, this isn't a one-time deal. I've tried downloading this module for a couple of weeks now, and I get exactly the same file! I'm rather new to Drupal, but have been installing and using modules all along and don't understand why I can't get this one right.
Or, am I trying to get the wrong "date" module? It's a pretty important module that a lot of stuff rests on. Am I going to the wrong module page?
Thanks,
Tina
