start with the README.txt file and INSTALL.txt file of the modules that you've downloaded.

beyond that, if you want specific help for a specific module you will need to mention the module and the version you are using so others also using it can help.

extract the module folders from the .tar.gz archive
upload the entire folder to sites/all/modules (you will have to create the modules folder)
goto administer -> modules
enable the module

done

In future try reading the documenation area or using search for FAQ's see: http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install-contrib

Well the first thing you can do is tag your threads correctly so others can warn you when they answer. This thread is tagged 5.x

Drupal 5.x modules will not work with Drupal 6.x

your options are:

Install Drupal 5.x so you can use the modules available for Drupal 5.x
port the modules from Drupal 5.x to Drupal 6.x if you have the skillset
pay someone to port them
wait until they are ported
