Hello all,

I just installed a new instance of Drupal 7.7. So far, everything went well, except one thing: If I want to add a module via URL, I get the following error message:
Error message: Cannot extract temporary://update-cache-161df812/download, not a valid archive.

It seems that there has been a bug linked to this in an early version of Drupal 7.0 reported here and here.

Any idea what might be wrong about my install?

right click on the zip link and click save link location and copy that link location to your new module text field

That's what I actually did. The problem was that the link I got that way wasn't correct. I was trying to install CiviCRM that way from the link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.0.4/civic... as given in the manual whereas the correct link would have been http://sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.0.4/civic...

Thanks anyway.
