My greetings to the Community.
This is my first post in forum as I am very fresh to Drupal. My congratulations for all this wonderful effort.
When I first installed 7.8, I am fairly sure that I did install several modules, themes and their upgrades from within the Update Manager. I typed in the relevant URL and all necessary steps were done by Drupal. Lately, I upgraded to 7.9, which I do not know how relevant it is to my issue. Also, I have been playing around with file permissions after the suggestion of http://drupal.org/node/244924 . Today, as I was trying to install a couple of theme updates and modules, I realised that I could no longer do so, but only with an FTP option.
This is a minor issue to me as I have indeed disabled FTP, I do have SSH, but I have to admit that updating from the interface is simpler for other users as well. So I wonder, did I do something wrong? Has something changed from 7.8 to 7.9? Do permissions matter?
Thank you very much, appreciated.

7.9 upgrade breaks module installs
I can confirm that upgrading a 7 to 7.9 breaks module installs
reported error:
- the file is downloaded with a random file name into the 'tmp' directory OK
- previous updates worked OK using 'tmp/update-cache/' folder
- permissions on 'tmp' 'tmp/update-cache' and 'tmp/update-cache-eda84aec' are all the same
(NOTE: this error only occurs when using the URL install, using a local file uploaded through the update form works OK)
