I've downloaded a few times and I'm getting a decompression error every time I try to expand the file. I tried downloading some other modules incase it was my end but it's only happening with the pathauto file. Is anyone else getting this?

Title: corrupt file? » corrupt tar file for 5.x-2.1

The 2.1 file has been out for a while now and nobody else has noticed this problem. I tried downloading it and it worked fine.

Perhaps you could try using an alternate download method like wget or ftp? You can use anonymous ftp from the command line like:

c:\ftp ftp.drupal.org

lots of stuff will scroll by

Name (ftp.drupal.org:greg): anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
ftp> cd pub/drupal/files/projects
ftp> get pathauto-5.x-2.1.tar.gz

Use "anonymous" as both the username and password. Then the file will be downloaded to your local directory and you can try opening it from there.

better status.

Also, what is the specific error message that you get?

I haven't experienced the issue, but it did call to mind the message on the main Drupal project page:

If you are using Internet Explorer and WinZip, save the file first, as otherwise IE will corrupt the file's extension.

Could be the reason.
