Grabbing tar balls
In the sites/all directory, create a modules directory if one doesn't already exist.
In that directory, download and untar the tarballs for both views and views RSS:
tar xzf xxx.tar.gz
Afterwards, click on adminster>Site building>Modules and enable views, and then views_rss.

Maybe this is too late - but here is where you can get it
If you go to Modules and download Views, views_rss.module is inside the archive/tarball.
The code itself is here http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/views/views...
Installing Drupal modules in general
In general if you are on a *nix (Linux, etc.) platform you can untar (tar -xvf module.tar) the module into a folder, typically under the folder 'drupal/site' for your site-specific downloads, rather than the core 'modules' folder.
If you are running on Windows you can use WinRAR or you can get a .zip and unzip the folder under drupal/site.
Once you have unpacked the module you should browse to the 'Modules' management section in your Drupal Admin and enable the module. If there are any other modules the new one is dependent on, the Modules management display will show that.
