Why bother to download, unzip, and stick in your modules dir?
Just cd sites/all/modules and do this:
curl http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/tinytax-6.x-1.11.tar.gz|tar -xzf -and replace "tinytax-6.x-1.11" with whatever the module is, obviously...
OR - if you're feeling really slick - use drush, then just run php-cli path/to/drush/drush.php pm install module_name
